Problem/Motivation

When i disable a field its widget changes and it should change it back to the previous widget when i enable it.

Steps to reproduce

  • Go to the Manage Form Display tab of a Content type. (Article for example)
  • Change the "Authored by" field widget to "Select list" and save it
  • Move this field to the "Disabled" area and save it
  • Its widgets changed to "Check boxes/radio buttons"
  • Enable it again, the widget changes to "Autocomplete" instead of "Select list"

Proposed resolution

Either don't change the widget when disabling/enabling the field or at least, when enabling the field, change it to the previous widget.

    I tested this on Drupal 10.1.x, standard install and confirmed the problem.

    I attempted to reproduce the reported issue in Drupal 11.x; however, the observed behavior differs from what is described in the issue (IS).
    If we do not manually change the "Authored by" field widget to "Select list" but instead drag and disable this field, it automatically switches the field widget to a select list. Conversely, upon enabling this field, the widget changes to autocomplete.
