hx-post with external submit button excludes the button value

[wooooodward]

Submitting a form with the submit button outside of the <form> tag does not include the button's name attribute as a parameter or its value ('lol': 'cats') in the request which is inconsistent with the default expected behaviour.

<form id="my-form" hx-post="/example">
  <input type="text" name="name" />
</form>

<input type="submit" form="my-form" name="lol" value="cats"/>

Same issue here with the newest version 1.8.5.

Also ran into this issue. It popped up when I was trying to use form buttons inside a Bootstrap modal footer. For anyone in the same boat- I ended up having to wrap the entire modal-dialog div in the form tag, which isn't ideal.
