**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: `2.15.3`  
My PHP version is: `PHP 7.2.24-1+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+1`  
My nginx version is: `nginx/1.16.1`

**Your problem**  
I want to change the default form encoding type from **`multipart/form-data`** to **`application/x-www-form-urlencoded`** to test a [no CAPTCHA required anti-spam lua script](https://www.getpagespeed.com/server-setup/nginx/protect-your-signup-forms-from-spam-with-nginx-and-cleantalk) that doesn’t support the former.

Any suggestions?

I think I need to change the default form type, or possibly expose a custom option.
