Add a configuration option for setting default help text on uri field

Do you want to change the Drupal default help text (description)?

This one (for link field allowing internal and external links):

Start typing the title of a piece of content to select it. You can also enter an internal path such as /node/add or an external URL such as http://example.com. Enter to link to the front page. Enter to display link text only. Enter to display keyboard-accessible link text only.

This can be done in several ways already, for example by String overrides via settings.php

There are some modules for that too I suppose, String overrides → for example.

Thanks for the fast response. I have used a custom module in the past to do this, but I don't really like any of those solutions for doing this :|

If I'm using this module to adjust the help text on a per-field basis, it might be nice to be able to set the defaults on the config form. And also pre-fill the form on the field widget settings with that default text :) Or even pre-fill the form on the widget settings with the default help text, that would be good.

If you really want and need this feature please provide a patch and I will check.

I am not really convinced about the global option to override the help text. Drupal uses different help texts depending on internal/external link configuration. If only one text is used for all, this might not be consistent to users and if multiple options are provided this might get confusing.

And as explained before one can already override these help texts globally.

I am closing this issue for now.
