Inherited Options
-----------------

These options inherit from the :doc:`FormType </reference/forms/types/form>`:

.. include:: /reference/forms/types/options/attr.rst.inc

.. include:: /reference/forms/types/options/data.rst.inc

.. include:: /reference/forms/types/options/disabled.rst.inc

.. include:: /reference/forms/types/options/empty_data.rst.inc
    :end-before: DEFAULT_PLACEHOLDER

From an HTTP perspective, submitted data is always a string or an array of strings.
So by default, the form will treat any empty string as null. If you prefer to get
an empty string, explicitly set the ``empty_data`` option to an empty string.
