Config action to set a third party setting of a display (form or view) component

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 24 July 2025, 3 months ago

Problem/Motivation

At the moment it is possible to set components with config action setComponent/s in entity view/form displays. And it is possible to set 3rd party settings of the config or config entity with setThirdPartySetting/s config action. But it would be nice to have an action that can set third party setting of the view/form display component. Yes, it is possible to pass third_party_settings property in setComponent, but that would mean that the complete component will be overwritten.

For features like "Field widget actions" from AI module, or from any other feature that sets 3rd party settings to widgets or field formatters this will be very useful, as it is not always possible (or not always needed) to know all the settings for the field widget to set the 3rd party setting.

Proposed resolution

Create a config action setComponentThirdPartySetting that will be applied to Entity View/Form Displays config entities. The parameters should be:
- component/field name: e.g. name
- module the third party setting is provided with: e.g. module
- the settings themselves: e.g. settings
