Note: Fields will have pre-filled or default values in both scenarios.

Note: Customer Email, Title, and Description are non-removable in the Create Action form. However, they can be hidden to prevent modification.
Reordering Fields: To customize the order of the fields, click and hold a field in the left column, then drag and drop it to your desired position in the sequence.
Note: Non-removable fields will always be on top, while hidden fields will automatically move to the bottom once the changes are saved.

If fields are hidden - this property is not relevant.
Placeholder Text: Text inside the field before users enter their information.
Hint Text: The hint text is shown below the field to guide users on what to enter. Think of this as the field description.

Note: Default values cannot be entered for non-removable fields.
