Add ability to copy other subfields like the reuse existing field for Drupal core

Created on 31 May 2025, 3 days ago

Problem/Motivation

One great feature for core is reusing a field so you don't have to fill out many values.
I can see reusing a media selector or text subfield fairly often, it would be great to be able to choose an existing subfield to copy and then modify the targets or widget for the given field.

    Try the clone feature and see if that satisfies what you're thinking? You would see it when you add another custom_field. It will show other custom_field instances from any other entity type and it will copy all the storage and widget settings over.

    Thanks! That isn't quite what I meant, that copies all values from another instance, I want to copy just individual subfields.
