Intro/Context:

Developers can now implement a collection provider leveraging the info framework however when it comes to be able to map the fields user only have access to the elements declared for the types and not the sub-types.

This means that for example for Web Content that has type and subtype a developer creating a specific collection provider will not be able to declare the sub-types as mappable fields. As a consequence the end users will not be able to map the fields from the sub-type on the pages.

The goal of this Epic is to ensure developers of Collection Providers can declare sub-types (aka Form Variations) so that when page authors select that Collection Provider in the Collection Display fragment they can map editables within the cells to any of the sub-type specific fields.
