#2796173: Add experimental Field Layout module to allow entity view/form modes to switch between layouts →
adds a "Layout settings" detail element to the Field UI to select new layouts.
Layouts can provide their own settings, and would appear once the layout is selected.
However, many layouts (including the ones added in that issue) do not provide settings.
The Ajax progress indicator appears, then disappears with no apparent changes.
Additionally, the table with all the fields in it does not update to represent the new layout until the whole form is saved.
This is confusing on its own, but even more so given the Ajax-ified select element.
1) Make the whole form rebuild with the new regions
2) If none of the layouts in the select list have settings, don't perform the Ajax operation at all
3) Both 1 & 2
4) Your idea here!
Decide on an approach

Is this still relevant? I've never used the field_layout module, but when testing it there is at least 1 thing that changes when swapping layouts - the layout icon. Even with no settings this does change so I think this should maybe be closed as outdated?
