Make the edit warning message more user friendly for non-technical users

Created on 27 January 2021, almost 4 years ago
Updated 19 April 2024, 8 months ago

The current warning that is (optionally) shown when editing an entity is written from a developer's perspective and can be confusing to end users who don't necessarily understand the "entity" concept.

Modifications on this form will affect all existing usages of this entity.

Consider changing it to more user-friendly language as proposed:

Changing this @bundle will affect all places that it appears. Alternatively, remove this @bundle from the original content and add a new one.

    What I have also noticed is that the link in the message is going to the entity_usage.usage_list route while the local tab is going to the entity.$entity_type_id.entity_usage route. The former does not show the other tabs for the entity and the link opens in a new browser tab making it hard to browse back.

    MR adds config fields for the edit and delete warning messages. It also adds two tokens that can be used the display then entity's bundle name and the URL to the usage page for the entity (the version with the tabs).

    Patch attached for Composer based workflows.

    This would be a nice improvement! #6 works for me on content entities (nodes), but fails on Media entities with:

    The construct $entity->type->entity->label() may not be reliable across entity types. The latest change makes use of the entity_type.bundle.info service to fetch the label instead. Back to NR.
