Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Problem/Motivation
Unable to increase weight for steps on 'admin/config/workflow/forms_steps/edit/' past 10 due to the weight field dropdown. The default weight threshold is -10 to 10, and can be increased past the 10 threshold when adding new steps, but steps can also be reverted to a max weight of 10 when changing weights or moving steps.
The increase in threshold is needed due to how the forms_steps module gets the next step. If I have more than one step that has a weight of e.g. 10 then the next step will get stuck on the closest step with the weight of 10.
Proposed resolution
Update the weight field to a textfield instead of a weight field. Patch attached.
Remaining tasks
Testing
User interface changes
Update weight field form a weight field type to a textfield.

nicoloye commentedThanks for your issue and patch, may I suggest an alternative that preserve the drag n drop interface.

sehmann commentedRelated issue is that neither the drag and drop nor the editing of weight values affects the ordering of the Progress Steps. I had 3 steps and then added a fourth one which I want at the 3rd position. It works in the Step section but not in the Progress Bar section. Should I file a separate issue for this?
Version: 8.x-1.4
