Generate buttons being applied too broadly

I agree with this 100%. I also see cases where the buttons are being added in use cases that don't make sense, such as delete forms.

+1. It would be great to have a UI to turn it on/off.

I created an MR with a "quick fix" that restricts the buttons to node forms. In itself that's a big improvement IMHO, but I recognize that it's well short of the intent of this issue, so not putting the issue to NR yet.

I was recently using the Entity Redirect module and it does implement something along the lines of what is proposed here, adding fields to the content type form. So anyone with the time and ambition to take this on could look there for reference on what needs to be done.

Yes having a UI where you can flip on per content entity/bundle is ideal. There can be use cases for people with Media, Taxonomy, or custom data entities where they want this (Media with fields, as whitepapers, etc, custom data entities with the same).

Immediate issue is fixed, opening a new one to expand the capability.

Automatically closed - issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.
