Description
It would be good to have the ability to add prefixes / suffixes to the text input component, similar to the GOV.UK Design System (https://design-system.service.gov.uk/components/text-input#prefixes-and-suffixes).
There is a very common need for users to be able to enter information in things like pounds (£) or weight (kg) - or even to show the frequency of how often something happens e.g per week, month, year etc.
This ticket has been provisionally planned for the September Service Manual/Frontend releases.
