Kubernetes Ingestor: Customizing form behavior and hiding steps in template creation

[rmalveis]

Hello. First of all, thank you for making this open source plugin available!

I've done some testing with it and haven't seen, in an objective way, a method in the configuration to customize how the form is built.
For the PoC I'm working on, Backstage would be provided with a lot of abstracted information and some default guidelines.

For example:
In the first step of a template, we put Claim Metadata -> We'd like to fill these metadata with information from step 2
Step 2 contains the fields extracted from the OpenAPI schema - perfect!
Step 3: We'd like to provide default data for these values so that it's transparent to the user. Is it possible to hide this step?
Step 4: These are also information that would have default and transparent values for the end user. Is it possible to hide this step?

If it's possible to make these behavior customizations in the current state of the plugin, could you guide me on how?
If it's not possible, do you think this is a desired flexibility and would you accept a PR?

Thank you in advance.

currently what you are looking to do is not really possible. what is would be the default values which are pulled in from the openapischema and are already added in the form, with the customization option of converting default values to placeholders or to have them prefilled as default values. for the other features, if you would be interested in working on them that would be great. before committing to it though, i think it would be good if you provided a sample here of the configuration you would want to add, and what the desired UX could be. we can then agree on the design and then we would be happy for the contribution.

Thank you for your reply. I will evaluate the code in detail, and as soon as I have a design for how to achieve the desired behavior, I will share it with you.
