Consider "modes" in Form Builder #3914

Open ebruchez opened 5 years ago

It might be worth considering what other creation products do and have different modes, for example:

The "Inspect" mode would show certain useful information easily, like maybe control names, dependency relationships, whether a control has formulas, is the target of a service, etc.

Alternatively, this might be done with hover and certain key combinations.

See also #3984 for the idea of producing a report containing useful information in the form definition.
