Research direction

Start by inspecting the Twig macros under _includes/forms and compare their rendered fields with _includes/field.html, focusing on the differing attributes such as name and id. Done means the available fields and attributes, including their mappings, are documented for users.

Description

Description

I'm trying to look for any form of documentation to use the forms. macros within _includes/forms but am unable to find any.

Looking through the Twig itself I can kind of see what fields and attributes are available, but not all of them match up e.g. there's a 'name' when rendering a field, but no attribute of 'name' in _includes/field.html (guessing it translates to 'id' instead).
