Disable layouts for entity views and entity forms by default

Created on 23 May 2019, almost 6 years ago

Updated 16 May 2025, 3 days ago

Problem/Motivation

When adding layout_discovery to an existing project it defaults all layouts to layout_onecol which can wreak havoc on existing layouts since it overrides the custom templates for all entities.

Proposed resolution

Create a new default layout_disabled layout and add a check to field_layout that ignores the buildView() call if disabled is set.

Remaining tasks

Need to look into effect on layout_builder module if any
Needs tests
Needs reviews

User interface changes

This adds a new "Disabled" option to the field_layout select field and changes the default from "One column".

Release notes snippet

In order to make layout_discovery more agnostic to current template settings a new "Disabled" layout option has been added as the default layout. This allows users to choose which entities should opt-in to layouts.
