Have posted in AUI forum but not had any responses. Hoping someone here can help.

According to the docs for 7.0, https://docs.liferay.com/ce/portal/7.0-latest/taglibs/util-taglib/aui/input.html ,  the wrappedField attribute does this: "Whether to wrap the input component in a div, that can be styled. The default value is false . If the wrapperCssClass  attribute is configured, the value is set automatically to true ."

Our JSP file includes: 

<div class="col-sm-4">

<aui:input cssClass="input" wrappedField="<%= false %>" name='%= "firstName_" + i %>' id='<%= "firstName_" + i %>' type="text" placeholder="First Name" label="" value="<%= firstName %>" />

</div> The resulting HTML continues to be: <div class="col-sm-4">     <div class="form-group input-text-wrapper">         <input class="field input form-control" id="_firstName_0" name="_firstName_0" placeholder="First Name" title="first-name_0" type="text" value="">     </div> </div> An extra wrapping div with classes form-group and input-text-wrapper is created. But the docs state that the default should be no wrapping div. We have even added wrappedField="<%= false %>" for good measure -- but it has no effect. I would so appreciate someone telling me if it is in fact possible to have an aui input tag without the addition of a wrapping div, and if so how is it achieved?
