It will be good to have a method in the Form API to get or set the Form model. For example, it could be:

var form = $("#form").getKendoForm();
var model = form.model();

Bug report

When submitting a form, its data is being sent multiple times to the backend.

Check the example on ticket 1468553.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open the example attached in ticket 1468553
2. Click on one of the two buttons and fill the form that appears in the Window
3. Open the browser's network tab and submit the form.
4. Multiple requests with the form's data are sent to the controller

Current behavior

Once submitted, the form's data is sent multiple times to the backend

Expected/desired behavior

Form's data should be sent to the controller only once

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2020.2.513
• jQuery version: x.y
• Browser: [all]

Please support the plain TextBox as a valid editor within form configuration.  There are times when I would like to put a number into a plain textbox and apply custom code to that rather than use a NumericTextBox.

EG:

{ field: "uploaded", label: "A Label", validation: { required: true }, colSpan: 3, editor: "TextBox" }

When a form creates a group it uses a fieldset.  It would be great if this fieldset could have an id or class so it can be manipulated easily.

Whilst I could write code to find the Nth fieldset and modify it, it would be much cleaner to allow an id to be set on it.

It would be great if the form configuration allowed for items to be readonly or disabled during setup.  There are times when perhaps some data should not be able to be changed.

I'm having to do tricks such as this for each field I want readonly.

$("#fileSize").data("kendoNumericTextBox").readonly(true);
$("#originalFilename, #title").kendoTextBox({ readonly: true });

Please document an example of editor as a function.

A simple example could be a password field: https://dojo.telerik.com/@GaloisGirl/ARIGOmUj

Reproduction

1. Run sample at https://dojo.telerik.com/@GaloisGirl/eConozaR
2. Click "validate"

Expected result:

1. Validation result should be displayed  as a boolean

Actual result:

1. Undefined is displayed

Fix:

Just add return before "validator.validate();" in method "validate".
