Yeah out of scope, there is a formspec creator thing online for formspec v2, I think by luk3x
In game is 10 times harder, because I can't force you to reload all of the lua files your formspec generation code makes. I.e. you'd have to hot-swap all of your different formspec lua files, and my mod wouldn't know how to do that. Alternatively, I could override minetest.show_formspec(), and save off the past 5-7 formspecs shown to a given player. Then, you can request to see the previous X formspec, and bring up an edit box for it, and also re-render the new version. That might work, but you still later have to go back and change your original code.
Super easy way to create formspecs.

Technically, that could even be a CSM only mod, I suspect and work on servers...
Makes sense. Thanks for the follow up!
