Make media library field widget collapsible by widget setting or less prominent

Created on 5 April 2023, over 1 year ago

Problem/Motivation

The media field widget fieldset is very space-consuming in entity forms. While other fields like text fields and even textareas are quite compact, the fieldset display of media library items gets a lot of focus and height.

Steps to reproduce

  • Place a media reference field on a node type and select the media library widget
  • Create a new entity of that type and compare the UI of the media library field widget fieldset to other form items and their visual impact

Proposed resolution

  • Make media library widgets collapsible by a setting on "Manage form display". Perhaps add a default setting or override on the media library settings page.
  • Reduce prominence of fieldsets in Drupal forms in general? (Gin example - but I guess not (only) a theme topic)
  • Other ideas to make the prominence of all field types more equal?
