Documentation for Form action types

We are looking more closely at form action types and we're finding little to no documentation on these.  For example, we want to quickly create a Campaign newsletter subscription form without coding.  This should be action type = Create Lead.  The action attributes requires a manual id be entered I assume.  This should be populated by a list of lead lists at minimum.  No documentation exists to tell us how to setup the fields in the form.  If there is docs, can someone point us to them.  If not, can we get a config for Create Lists actions on this?

Did the text below in the email submit action not help you. Also please have a look at https://helpx.adobe.com/aem-forms/6/introduction-forms-authoring.html  if you want some context of fields/components.

 

Using adaptive form field names to dynamically create email content

The field names in an adaptive form are called placeholders that are replaced with the value of that field after a user submits the form.

In the Email action tab, you can use placeholders that are processed when the action is performed. It implies that the headers of the email (such as Mailto, CC, BCC, subject) are generated when the user submits the form.

 

Note:

You can find the name of a field in the Edit dialog for the field.

 

Variable placeholders can also be used in the Subject and Email template fields.

For example:

Hi ${first_name} ${last_name},

Your form has been received by our department. It usually takes ten business days to process the request.

No.  I am aware of how to setup form fields.  I simply need to know what field names I need to use for creating a lead?  No one knows?  There is no documentation for this action type.  That is this issues.  Can all OOTB action type be documented please?
