Enhancement

Expose a clearButton API configuration that will remove or add the clear button from the Form

Overview

Currently, in order to omit the Clear Button from the Form, a programmatical or styling approach should be embarked. However, based on demand, client would find it more intuitive if this operation can be performed through a built-in configuration.

E.g:

<script>
    $("#myForm").kendoForm({
        formData: {
            ID: 1,
            Name: "Ivan",
            Address: "Sofia"
        },
        clearButton: false,
    });
</script>

2. Hit the clear button.

Workaround: https://dojo.telerik.com/@iankodj/oLAKiCuK/2

Current behavior

An error is thrown when you hit the clear button.

Expected/desired behavior

No error should be thrown when the clear button is hit.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2021.3.914
• 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" }
