# Feature: #85080 - Add property to disable form elements and finishers

See [forge#85080](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/85080)

## Description

A new rendering option for form elements and finishers has been introduced named `enabled`
which takes a boolean value (`true` or `false`).

Setting `enabled: true` for a form element renders it in the frontend and enables processing
of its value including property mapping and validation. Setting `enabled: false` instead
disables the form element in the frontend.

Setting `enabled: true` for a finisher executes it when submitting forms, setting `enabled: false`
skips the finisher instead.

By default `enabled` is set to `true`.

## Usage:

All form elements and finishers except the root form element and the first form page can be enabled
or disabled.

An example:

```yaml
type: Form
identifier: test
label: test
prototypeName: standard
renderables:
  -
    type: Page
    identifier: page-1
    label: Step
    renderables:
      -
        type: Text
        identifier: text-1
        label: Text
        defaultValue: ''
      -
        type: Checkbox
        identifier: checkbox-1
        label: Checkbox
        renderingOptions:
          enabled: true
  -
    type: SummaryPage
    identifier: summarypage-1
    label: 'Summary step'
    renderingOptions:
      enabled: false
finishers:
  -
    identifier: Confirmation
    options:
      message: thx
  -
    identifier: Confirmation
    options:
      message: 'thx again'
      renderingOptions:
        enabled: '{checkbox-1}'
```

In this example the form element `checkbox-1` has been enabled explicitly but it is fine to
leave this out since this is the default state (which can be seen in the element `text-1`).

The `summarypage-1` has been disabled completely, for example to temporarily remove it from
the form.

The second `Confirmation` finisher takes the fact into account that finishers can refer to
form values. It is only enabled if the form element `checkbox-1` has been activated by the
user. Otherwise the finisher is skipped.
