Rough transcript of this week's meeting: Drupal Usability Meeting - 2025-07-18.txt

We discussed the following issue:

[#TODO]

NR and RTBC issues marked Needs usability review → .

The group is actively tracking progress on these issues:

🌱 [meta] Reorganize Block items in the administration menu Active
✨ [Meta] Appearance page is too long and confusing Active
✨ Allow media items to be edited in a modal when using the field widget Postponed with notes:
- @AaronMcHale: Issue could use some guidance.
  In comment #109 the issue was marked as postponed for needing input from UX, accessibility and media initiative. Apparently there are some outstanding UX/accessibility questions (but I'm not sure what they are). This was echoed in comment #111.
  Comment #144 is asking what is needed to move the issue along (the postponed state seems to be causing some delays/confusion as to how to proceed).
  Perhaps we can at least take a look at what the issue is doing and provide some recommendations/guidance on how it could be implemented.
✨ Provide Drupal root path on file system admin form Needs work
✨ Allow hiding configured blocks in layout builder Needs work
✨ Add visibility control conditions to blocks within Layout Builder Needs work
🐛 Error message presented when a BrokenPostRequestException is fired on AJAX submission can be misleading Needs work
📌 Link field validation constraints don't give enough detail Needs work

We've continued the walkthrough we've started in the meeting last week: 📌 Drupal Usability Meeting 2025-07-11 Active . The basis of the discussion are still the set of the following four issues:

📌 Design a UI to allow various kinds of alterations to referenced Media entities in a modal Active

✨ Allow media items to be edited in a modal when using the field widget Postponed

✨ Media items translate items in modal Postponed

✨ Override media fields from the reference field Postponed

This week covered mainly revisions, translations ( ✨ Media items translate items in modal Postponed ) , alt text as an extended special case of overriding fields ( ✨ [META] Improve workflows for image alternative text Active with special focus on comment #16 ✨ [META] Improve workflows for image alternative text Active ), the deletion of media items ( ✨ Migrate Media File Delete Contrib to Core Active ), and a contextual popup for media items ( 📌 Design a UI to allow various kinds of alterations to referenced Media entities in a modal Active ).

p.s. i will leave a comment on 📌 Design a UI to allow various kinds of alterations to referenced Media entities in a modal Active when the recording for this week is ready. that way we can link the two recordings there as well. since the popup issues turned into the parent for this "meta" it might be a good idea to provide the additional context in addition to the summary of our discussion.
