    The draft of the MR is a work in progress, reflecting proposed changes we've discussed over the course of several ux meetings. The MR is not complete and ready for review yet - we plan to finalize the MR in the coming weeks. We've considered it helpful at this point being able to see all the changes in context. A few remarks:

    • So far i've only added the discussed changes for the available field group options, but all those changes also rely on changes on the h1. At the moment the first two steps are just called Add fields across all field types and field groups. โœจ Use modals in field creation and field edit flow Needs work has to get in first for that. After that the proposed changes for the h1 on second step could be added as well.
    • While making the changes for the MR I've noticed that the changes on the field type/field group labels also entail necessary changes in help texts and tests. But those changes should happen after a final consensus was reached about the micro copy. Leave it here as a reminder.
    • It has to be noted that at this point the description for every option available for the reference field group has an identical description defined in EntityReferenceItem.php. That way it is impossible to provide some sort of guidance to the user what the actual difference between the different reference options actually is and which option to pick in which scenario. So we probably need a separate issue to add the ability to provide individual descriptions for the different reference options.
    • The file upload field group currently has no description yet and is still using the pattern starting with "field to..." we've removed on the description for every other field type and field group. But the entire question how to deal with the media field type is out of the scope for this issue and complicates everything. @benjifisher already opened ๐Ÿ“Œ Add media reference to the same field type group as file and image Active a few weeks back - the general discussion and work should happen there.
  • @rkoller opened merge request.
