[#18084] - System ignores 'joomla.form.renderfield' layout on override in a template
- Closed

- Build: 3.8
- # 18084
Steps to reproduce the issue
- Create in your default template a file '/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/html/layouts/joomla/form/renderfield.php'
- Remove anything in that file and put word "TEST"
- Open any front-end form using Joomla\CMS\Form\Form (for example contact form in com_contact)
Expected result
Form inputs replaced with word TEST
Actual result
Nothing changed. Even changing the content of default layout (/layouts/joomla/form/renderfield.php) does nothing.
System information (as much as possible)
Joomla 3.8, PHP 7

And why it is separated? It looks like a dirty fix for something that core would also be affected (or would need). Its against DRY principle in my opinion.
