Potentially confusing wording in text area widget

Created on 29 December 2022, over 2 years ago

Problem/Motivation

The text area widget used to have text "Text editors (like CKEditor) may override this setting.". CKEditor was used as an example to reduce the chances of text editors being interpreted as someone editing text rather than the software that is used for editing text.

🐛 CKEditor 5 isn't respecting field widgets row settings Fixed changed the wording of the description to remove specific mention of CKEditor from that text because CKEditor 5 is trying to take into account the setting which was not the case with CKEditor 4.

Proposed resolution

Find a way to phrase "Text editors may override this setting." without making it sound like it is referring to people editing text while explaining that not all text editors are taking this setting into account.
