Rename "field_notes" to "notes" and move to baseFieldDefinitions

Created on 19 May 2025, about 1 month ago

Problem/Motivation

The Notes field (field_notes) is attached to the Individual, Household, and Organization Contact bundles, but it seems to make sense that this would be present on all future bundles.

Steps to reproduce

Rename field_notes to notes and move to Contact::baseFieldDefinitions.

    Do we want to name them comments to be more Drupal-ish?

    A quick search suggests that Notes is a pretty standard name for this in other CRMs. I think Notes is better in part because it isn't a Drupalism. We should be optimizing the UX for a general user, not a Drupaler. While we could have the machine name be "comments" and the label be "Notes", I think that introduces more confusion than it solves for.
