Rough transcript of this week's meeting: Drupal Usability Meeting - 2023-09-29.txt →

NR and RTBC issues marked Needs usability review → .

The group is actively tracking progress on these issues:

🌱 [meta] Reorganize Block items in the administration menu Active
✨ [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.
✨ Provide Drupal root path on file system admin form Needs work
🐛 UX: Hide entity ID in autocomplete widget Needs work
✨ 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

we havent commented on none of the two issues. but i guess the issue could be set to fixed anyway. the first issue we've dicussed in january again and it is in a good shape now while the second issue we've only touched during the second part of the meeting. just skimmed through and it sounds like the meeting was more about catching up on the field ux in general and we've covered a lot of ground. one or two details from the discussion relevant to the linked field descriptions issue back then i've added to a comment i've left on 📌 Refine field descriptions Active today. so i think it would be fine to set this issue to fixed?
