Description

I'm using the "form" mode to allow users to values in json data. The data is also validated with a json schema.

For some data/schemas the users would need to add or remove array elements.

Is it possible to enable the custom action menu in "form" mode and configure it to only provide the add and remove functions on arrays?

Research direction
The issue requests adding custom action menu for arrays in form mode. Investigate the existing Form mode implementation in src/js/form/ or similar. Look at how the action menu is currently added in tree mode. Check if there is any existing configuration for custom actions. Review the schema validation and how array items are rendered. Consider adding an option to enable add/remove actions on arrays in form mode. The maintainer might need to clarify if this should be configurable or always available.
