Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.I was thinking of the ability to add an option to bind view mode select field with a form mode of the paragraph.
If the form mode with the same id will exist, then the paragraph form will be replaced with this specific form mode.
There are a few challenges here... First is to replace the paragraph form dynamically via ajax. I was looking into Paragraphs module source code and seems like it might be cumbersome to accomplish such functionality. At least I wasn't able to see an easy way at a first glance.
The second thing is that I hope that all the form values will be preserved. I would like to avoid such cases when changing the view mode value wipes all the paragraph values.
I don't have enough time to implement such a feature, so that's why I'm opening this issue for a community. Any help with that will be appreciated.

simeI like this approach because it would open up the ability to do nice things like control the form in twig, I think?
My experience with this type of functionality is using form #states to attach visible/required events based on the view mode selector. But this had bad DX, and when bugs occur in core it's a bit frustrating.
