Hi @bjarnef, thanks for raising! We will discuss this internally and see where it fits into a future sprint.

@rickbutterfield I am all in for consistency! 🧐😎
The UI library ensure more consistency than in the past, and of course forms+properties is not 1:1 compared to content type + properties, but they have many similarities, so it would be great if the UI/UX is a bit more streamlined where possible.

@rickbutterfield it would also be great if the dropdown isn't possible to interactive in the "preview" 😅

Honestly I don't think these previews brings much value, especially in headless setup and I think it makes the UI a bit cluttered for more complex forms.

But currently it's a feature and possible to implement backoffice view for custom fields.
Maybe it can initially have a setting to disable backoffice field previews?
