Add support for adding additional subfields after use

Created on 15 April 2024, over 1 year ago
Updated 16 April 2024, over 1 year ago

Problem/Motivation

Currently, composite fields are locked and cannot be modified once they are in use, even to add a new field.

This is really a must-have feature as it is very frequently necessary to add a new field to a bundle after it has been created and is being used.

Proposed resolution

Field type modules cannot maintain their field schema (field type schema change C(R)UD is needed) Needs work would potentially unblock this.

Remaining tasks

  1. Find a way forward
  2. Implement!

    My expectation is that this will need to provide options for back-filling data into the new columns. What happens with paragraphs if you add a new and make it required, for example, is when you are editing old content you can't save the content because a dozen paragraphs have null values. This is really bad usability for site builders.
