I’m trying to style a text field form input element, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect.  
Specifically `border`, `font-size`, and `background-color`. Is there anyway to change these values, and is there a list of supported properties per element anywhere?

text fields accept a limited amount of styling at the moment: [https://adobexdplatform.com/plugin-docs/reference/ui/elements/textfields.html#styling](https://adobexdplatform.com/plugin-docs/reference/ui/elements/textfields.html#styling)

Just to add, there’s a `uxp-quiet="true"` attribute for text fields that will swap out some of the default styling.
