Add configurable description to content type title field.

Patch #35 Verified and tested locally on Drupal 10.1.x.
Patch applied successfully and looks good to me.


Testing steps:

1. Goto admin/structure/types/manage/basic page

2. Observe that the title description field is absent.

3. Apply the patch.

4. Reload.

5. Observe that the title description field has been added.


Testing Result:
 After applying the patch the title description field appears.


Checked the code, also title appears in the node as expected
RTBC + 1

Still needs issue summary update.

Updating the IS.

The API already allows to configure this, it is not exposed on the UI though. I can see the use case of needing to give some guidance to the user about the title field. I also don't think this goes against #2350041: Remove node title field description → , that removed a badly technical hard coded description, while this one does not add a new hardcoded description but exposes a feature to the user instead.

The field however is not added consistently with the rest of the elements. How is the field description presented on other field config pages? That would be best to replicate here.

Addressed #47.

Changed the field label to "Title field description"
Updated the description of the field based on the generic field description.

Thanks @Gábor Hojtsy for taking a look!

Appears to have a build failure

Fixed Build failure.

Thanks @Rassoni !

Re-rolled patch from #50 to 10.2.x-dev.

The Title field is a base field on Node.

Base fields can have their labels and descriptions overridden using the base_field_override config.

There is a module to expose UI to do this https://www.drupal.org/project/base_field_override_ui →

Alternatively you can use drush to generate one for you, see https://www.previousnext.com.au/blog/overriding-base-field-labels-and-de...

An example of a title base field override for the page content type:
File: core.base_field_override.node.page.title.yml

  config:
    - node.type.page
id: node.page.title
field_name: title
entity_type: node
bundle: page
label: Title
description: 'My custom description'
required: true
translatable: true
default_value: {  }
default_value_callback: ''
settings: {  }
field_type: string
