            <FormCheckbox name="unitSelection" options={options} />
          </FormGridItem>
        </FormGrid>

  2. Compare performance between original and refactored versions
  3. Update any references to the old form component

Future

  1. Apply similar refactoring to other forms in the project
  2. Create form templates for common patterns
  3. Add more validation schemas
  4. Implement form state management utilities

Conclusion

The refactored task form demonstrates the power of reusable form components:
