Drupal Usability Meeting 2023-06-16

The group is actively tracking progress on:

• 🌱 [meta] Reorganize Block items in the administration menu Active

Issues brought forward from the previous meeting:

• ✨ [Meta] Appearance page is too long and confusing Active
• 📌 [PP-3] Figure out what to do with the install/uninstall modules page Postponed with notes:
  • #3307567: Drupal Usability Meeting 2022-09-09 → : started discussing the proposed options but ran out of time, possibly splitting the confirm form into its own issue (we may want to look at that for both modules and themes, standard pattern, consider implications of project browser), worth considering parity with Drush (and other extension/package managers).
  • #3310096: Drupal Usability Meeting 2022-09-23 → : @simohell presented the various proposals, but we again ran out of time to have a in-depth discussion, using the drop-button pattern on the module page for the existing links + Uninstall was suggested.
• 🐛 Placement of batch progress messages Active with notes:
  • #3322499: Drupal Usability Meeting 2022-11-25 → : We started looking at the issue but ran out of time.
• ✨ Allow media items to be edited in a modal when using the field widget Postponed with notes:
  • @AaronMcHale: Issue could use some guidance.
    In comment #109 the issue was marked as postponed for needing input from UX, accessibility and media initiative. Apparently there are some outstanding UX/accessibility questions (but I'm not sure what they are). This was echoed in comment #111.
    Comment #144 is asking what is needed to move the issue along (the postponed state seems to be causing some delays/confusion as to how to proceed).
    Perhaps we can at least take a look at what the issue is doing and provide some recommendations/guidance on how it could be implemented.
• 🐛 Password suggestions are hidden from screenreaders Active
• 🌱 [Policy] Remove tour module from core Fixed with notes:
  • @xjm tagged for review and sign off from the usability group before it can go ahead, noting that Tour is seen as a usability module and the core committers were not able to reach a consensus.
• 📌 Creating a new workspace should also switch to it Needs work
• ✨ Provide Drupal root path on file system admin form Needs work
• 📌 Improve search settings help text Fixed
• 📌 Add image preload option to help boost actual and perceived performance Needs work
• 🐛 UX: Hide entity ID in autocomplete widget Needs work
• 🐛 Wrong message on cancelling account with e-mail confirmation request Needs work with notes:
  • Reviewed at #3244123: Drupal Usability Meeting 2021-10-22 → and we made a recommendation (in comment #13), but there was a good point made in comment #17 so in #18 I tagged it again for review.
• ✨ Allow hiding configured blocks in layout builder Needs work
• ✨ Add visibility control conditions to blocks within Layout Builder Needs work
• 🐛 Error message presented when a BrokenPostRequestException is fired on AJAX submission can be misleading Needs work
• 🐛 A required boolean field behaves differently depending on the widget Needs work
• 📌 Link field validation constraints don't give enough detail Needs work

I reviewed 📌 Add image preload option to help boost actual and perceived performance Needs work and set it to NW. We can remove it from the list. I would be happy to have someone else review my comment and either agree or disagree.

Last week at DrupalCon, @eric@erubino.net and I looked at 📌 Improve search settings help text Fixed . I would like to review that issue at this meeting.
