Rough transcript of this week's meeting: Drupal Usability Meeting - 2025-07-25.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

I commented on 📌 [PP1] Refine field descriptions Active during the meeting. I just edited the comment to mention this meeting.

I see that cedewey added another comment about 15 minutes ago.

I commented on 📌 Make menu trail behaviour in SystemMenuBlock optional Active shortly after the meeting. I also left a second, technical comment suggesting a different approach. We might not need any changes to the config form after all.
