[PP-1] Improve field description texts for fields provided by core

Created on 13 December 2017, over 7 years ago

Updated 18 May 2024, about 1 year ago

Problem/Motivation

This is a follow-up from 🌱 [META] Once media is enabled, having the File, Image and Media reference fields all listed is confusing Active .
On that issue, we allowed plugin descriptions defined in field type annotations to be shown on the UI.

We need to make sure that all descriptions currently present in the annotations make sense for the "average site builder", once they are now going to be exposed through the UI.

The following table indicates the current field descriptions from the annotations, and the proposed new texts:

Proposed resolution

Review the wording of all existing descriptions to make sure they are understandable by the site builder.

Needs usability review
Used to alert the usability topic maintainer(s) that an issue significantly affects (or has the potential to affect) the usability of Drupal, and their signoff is needed. When adding this tag, make it easy to review the issue. Make sure the issue summary describes the problem and the proposed solution. Screenshots usually help a lot! To get sign-off on issues with the "Needs usability review" tag, post about them in the #ux channel on Drupal Slack, and/or attend a UX meeting to demo the patch and get direct feedback from designers/UX folks/product management on next steps. If an issue represents a significant new feature, UI change, or change to the general "user experience" of Drupal, use Needs product manager review instead. See the scope of responsibilities for product managers.

I'm not sure this needs to be postponed any more - and that other issue may be obsolete with the new field type categories system.

Since we closed this issue as a duplicate of 📌 [PP1] Refine field descriptions Active , I am adding that as a related issue.
