 @@@@@@@@@@@ ROADMAP STAGE 2:
 
-todo: change all testing data-cy attributes to conditional see ay-customize for example
-	- :data-cy="!!enableCypress ? item.key : false"
-	- Really need at this point a way to not have to add a fucking data property to *every* fucking form but rather a central location available to all vue from main or window
-		- dig into that and see if it's possible again and how to do it because then all forms could be simplified a great deal.
 
 todo: is there a way to not have to specify "name" 5 times in a text field on widget form (for example), maybe can use this.ref??

+		- Then I can pass name as the ref and the component will handle the rest
+	- However, this is not a super bad idea because it adds abstraction above vuetify, but then really how realistic is it to just swap out vuetify?

 todo: add tests for the following:
