Comment fields are available to add to media, user or taxonomy entity types but this doesn't work

Created on 24 July 2018, almost 6 years ago

Problem/Motivation

Form field_storage_config_edit_form produces an empty select list on media entity types:
<select data-drupal-selector="edit-settings-comment-type" aria-describedby="edit-settings-comment-type--description" id="edit-settings-comment-type" name="settings[comment_type]" class="form-select required" required="required" aria-required="true"></select>

Since the comment type is required, the field cannot be added correctly to non-node entity bundles.

Steps to reproduce

enable the media module
add a comment field to the existing image media bundle (/admin/structure/media/manage/image/fields)

Do same with Taxonomy and with User bundles.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.

This is still valid on Drupal 10.1.x. Adding usability tag.

This is not a very nice user experience.

This is not bug, you need to create comment type for each entity where you want to add comments
