Drupal Usability Meeting 2023-08-04

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
• ✨ 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
• ✨ Provide Drupal root path on file system admin form 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
• 📌 Link field validation constraints don't give enough detail Needs work

A few issues were suggested in Slack:

• 🐛 Message for an unpublished release doesn’t account for no update available Needs work
• 🐛 A required boolean field behaves differently depending on the widget Needs work (discussed recently, but I have not yet commented on the issue)
• ✨ Make it easier to add a child menu item Fixed (just added by me, not mentioned in Slack)
