Problem/Motivation

#2183231: Make ContentEntityDatabaseStorage generate static database schemas for content entities β†’ revealed that there are large discrepancies between our current schema descriptions and entity type's field definition descriptions. When that issue gets in the latter will end up as schema descriptions directly and schema descriptions will no longer be declared separately.

The current patch over there takes the field definition description for single-column fields as the schema description, but does not do anything with multi-column fields (so far).

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
