Field form widget alter hook executed without all element details

Problem:

In a recent project I've had to leverage the hook_field_widget_form_alter() to append further processors to a datetime field. Additionally, I was originally altering and updating the `#date_year_range` property. However, I noticed that upon executing this hook the form element's "getInfo()" had yet to be called and by setting our own #process callbacks it would negate the inclusion of the DateTime::getInfo()['#process'] list from being included.

It would seem that this may be intentional based on implementation and the execution of when hook_field_widget_form_alter() is called in comparison to the element manager for appending additional properties.

Current (workaround) solution

The current solution that I utilized was to explicitly include the definition of DateTime::getInfo() properties that were being originally set in the `hook_field_widget_form_alter()`.

    The hook_field_widget_form_alter was removed in #3261241: Remove deprecated field module functions → and replace by hook_field_widget_complete_form_alter or hook_field_widget_complete_WIDGET_TYPE_form_alter. Is this particulate problem reproducible on a currently supported version of Drupal?

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, I am setting the status to 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!
