Created on 14 July 2025, about 1 month ago

Problem/Motivation

The change record in https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3386762 ✨ Use modal in add new field flow Active made field settings open in a modal which has completely broken our UX and made adding/editing custom field settings nearly impossible.

Proposed resolution

Detach widget settings from the storage settings modal and move them to the manage form display. This will be a considerably heavy lift and refactor as update hook will be necessary to migrate settings and various places in our module that is depending on current implementation will need refactoring.

Remaining tasks

  • Create a 4.x branch
  • Set the current 3.x core version max to 11.1^
  • Determine for every widget what are "field settings" that remain in modal and what are "form settings" for migrating to manage form display.

User interface changes

  • Some field settings will remain in the modal but will need to be repurposed into a list of details elements vs. the table.
  • Form specific settings will need to be moved to the form default display component and will be accessed from "Manage form display".
