Summary field should be mandatory for the blog posts

Created on 9 May 2025, 5 days ago

Problem/Motivation

When looking at the list of blog teasers in the home page, I see that the body is being trimmed to 600 characters, which doesn't look good if you are sharing a recipe or something like that:

It's better if we make the summary body field mandatory and this will be displayed as an intro text for the user to dig deeper into the blog page contents when clicking on it.

Steps to reproduce

Create a blog node with a long text, it will be trimmed down to 600 characters

Proposed resolution

Make the summary body field mandatory and make sure it's set in the blog teaser.

    It would make a good project for someone who is new to the Drupal contribution process. It's preferred over Newbie.
