The actions for a form in the Forms application is wrong. It is not following Lexicon standards. Please correct it.

Lexicon established some rules so every application and every dropdown behaves in the same ways. This provides predictability on where action is going to appear in the menu. Example: Delete is always the last action and in your case, it is the first action. There are other elements such as groupings or icons that make scanability far easier for the user.

A better actions order, grouping, and configuration of the dropdown would be this:

The clear benefits here are:

• Structure
• Groupings
• Skimming actions is easier as the icon helps to identify it.

There is no need of having an icon for each action and that is right.
