hook_maxlength_widget_settings does not allow the original settings to be overridden. There are cases where the original settings need to be altered. For example, enforcing a hard character limit on link text when using the linkit widget.
In a custom module implement the hook:
function hook_maxlength_widget_settings() {
return [
'linkit' => [
'maxlength_setting' => TRUE,
'summary_maxlength_setting' => FALSE,
'truncate_setting' => TRUE,
],
];
}The code joins the original settings array with the array returned by the hook using + which does not overwrite the values.
Use array_merge or equivalent when returning the original settings and hook provided array.
