Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 18/190,527, filed Mar. 27, 2023, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 17/444,780, filed Aug. 10, 2021 (now U.S. Patent No. 11,615,235), the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. BACKGROUND Electronic forms, such as web forms, are commonly used to facilitate the receipt of information from users. In many instances, the information requested in such forms is repeated across various documents. An autofill tool may enable the rapid entry or filling of form fields by storing user data and inserting the stored user data into appropriate form fields. The autofill tool may insert stored data into a form based on predefined form field identifiers associated with the data. For example, the autofill tool may scan the fields of an electronic form for a form field identifier, and automatically insert user data associated with the form field identifier into the appropriate form field. SUMMARY In some implementations, a system for automatic filling of a form of a web page includes one or more memories, and one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to: identify a form field, of the form, that is to be filled with text; determine a formatting for the text that is to be used for filling the form field, wherein the formatting for the text is determined based on: content of the web page that is indicative of the formatting that is to be used for filling the form field, and information relating to at least one previous filling of the form field that is associated with a successful submission of the form, wherein the information indicates at least one previous formatting used for the at least one previous filling of the form field; modify the text in accordance with the formatting that is determined to obtain formatted text; and cause filling of the form field with the formatted text. In some implementations, a method of automatic filling of a form of a web page includes identifying, by a device, a form field, of the form, that is to be filled with text; processing, by the device, the web page to identify content of the web page that is indicative of a formatting for the text that is to be used for filling the form field; determining, by the device, the formatting for the text based on the content that is indicative of the formatting; modifying, by the device, the text in accordance with the formatting that is determined to obtain formatted text; and causing, by the device, filling of the form field with the formatted text. In some implementations, a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for automatic filling of a form of a web page includes one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the device to: identify a form field, of the form, that is to be filled with text; obtain information relating to at least one previous filling of the form field that is associated with a successful submission of the form, wherein the information indicates at least one previous formatting used for the at least one previous filling of the form field; determine a formatting for the text that is to be used for filling the form field based on the information; modify the text in accordance with the formatting that is determined to obtain formatted text; and cause filling of the form field with the formatted text. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIGS. 1A-1F are diagrams of an example implementation relating to automatic filling of a form with formatted text. FIG. 2 is a diagram of an example environment in which systems and/or methods described herein may be implemented. FIG. 3 is a diagram of example components of one or more devices of FIG. 2. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of an example process relating to automatic filling of a form with formatted text. DETAILED DESCRIPTION The following detailed description of example implementations refers to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numbers in different drawings may identify the same or similar elements. As described above, an autofill tool may enable the rapid entry or filling of form fields by storing user data and inserting the stored user data into appropriate form fields. In some scenarios, the autofill tool may misidentify a form field and enter the incorrect user data into the form field. For example, the autofill tool may enter a user's last name into a form field intended for entry of a company name. In other scenarios, the autofill tool may enter the correct user data into the form field using an incorrect formatting. For example, the autofill tool may enter a user's phone number using parentheses around an area code when the form field calls for a consecutive string of numbers. Use of the incorrect user data and/or the incorrect formatting may result in an error that prevents successful submission of the form. As a re
