Any additional comments?

I've looked high and low, tried attachInternals() but on the button and a template ref doesn't work either, I'd like to have a way to associate the custom element as a form-associated custom element which we can do in vanilla js. But it's during the creation of the HTMLElement class that you can set it but we cannot modify this with the new defineCustomElement method.

+1. I have also searched high and low for the very same thing you are describing. It seems like a big limitation in defineCustomElement to not being able to pass arguments to the underlying CustomElement constructor. In this case attachInternals & static formAssociated properties.

Did you find any solution to your problem?

Sidenote:
Here is an older issue (see latest comment) I found, which also adresses some of the same problems.

The only way to bypass this is to set a hidden input with the right name and value thru js but it kinda defeats the purpose of creating a custom element in my opinion.
