I’m attempting to put bootstrap classes on form fields.  
  
  
  
First, I noticed that the form file in the theme doesn’t seem to allow styling at that granular a level (based on looking at all themes).  
  
  
  
I also looked at forms in the application. I found Input Attributes. I’m not sure I’m using them properly.  
  
  
  
The tooltip says to enter something like class=“myclass”. However, if I enter

Code:

class="form-control"

it shows up as

Code:

class=""form-control""

in the form.  
  
I can safely enter:

Code:

class=form-control

  
  
However when I get to the submit button I want to add two classes. Uh oh.

Code:

class="btn btn-primary"

it shows up as

Code:

class=""btn"
