Description

I created a form and added the following code to the configuration:

layout {
textline (
<input /><label />
)
mandatory (
<em> * </em>
)
}

Then I opened the Form Wizard, added a new form element via drag-and-drop and saved the changes. That deleted my code changes to the layout. This behaviour is reproducible. Change the configuration then open the wizard and click on the "Save and close" button.

A wizard is just a visual tool to help you build a complex configuration. If you add configuration which is valid for the form, but which isn't supported by the wizard then these additions won't be included in the output upon saving.
You can either build the entire form configuration yourself, or you can use the wizard as a kickstarter for the fields and add custom configuration afterwards.

So I can change the HTML output of the form but then an editor can't use the wizard anymore to change e.g. a label? Wouldn't it be useful if that were possible?

All settings the editor does not know/care about could simply be left unchanged during an edit, couldn't it?

We're working on a different solution, see #69394. For TYPO3 7 there will be no possibility anymore to change the declaration of the form using TYPOScript. The only way to edit the form in the backend will be the wizard. For TYPO3 8 we will remove the wizard and come up with a completely new version (removing the whole ExtJs logic).
