Currently as a drupal developer and many others I have talked to face this problem in development. It kind of slows the development process. The entity display manager module will enhance the field display customization in drupal by offering extended control over HTML structures, field output rewrites, and entity view mode configurations.
This module will provide site builders with greater flexibility in managing field rendering without custom theming or preprocess hooks.
Key Features:
1. Custom Field Display Settings
Provide checkboxes to enable/disable:
Field HTML wrapper
Label HTML wrapper
Default field classes
Implement a template override option for advanced customization
2. Field Rewrite Options
Allow overriding field output with custom text
Support transforming fields into custom links
Enable character limit trimming for field values
Provide an option to strip HTML tags from field output
Remove unnecessary whitespace in field values
3. Entity View Mode Configuration
Extend entity view modes to support custom display settings
Allow bundle-specific configurations per entity view mode
4. Integration with UI
Add settings under Manage Display in entity form display
Implement a field formatter or use preprocess hooks for modifications
