Hello There!

I am currently building a web app using Adalo. I am aware that it is possible to develop your own custom components in Adalo. I am trying build a Form component where you can make the input fields as large as you want and/or a Form component that autosaves.

My question is - **Is there a way to build off of existing component code?** I was hoping to use the existing Javascript and React code for Adalo’s built-in Form component to develop these features.

Thanks

Unfortunately, the form component’s source code is not open.
