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
Even when Tippy.js is disabled on admin/structure/webform/config/libraries, the library is still loaded from unpkg.com on Webform administration pages and no CDN warning appears on admin/reports/status.
Proposed resolution
- Only load Tippy.js when the library is enabled on
admin/structure/webform/config/libraries. - If the library is not available, behave as if "Display element description as help text (tooltip)" is unchecked.
- Put a warning next to "Display element description as help text (tooltip)" saying that it does not work without enabling Tippy.js.

anybodyI can confirm this issue, setting priority to "Major" for legal (GDPR) reasons, as the library isn't only loaded on administrative pages for me, but globally!
The optional external library is unchecked at /admin/structure/webform/config/libraries still the library is loaded:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/tippy.js@6.2.6/dist/tippy-bundle.umd.min.js"></script>webform is the only module which contains the code snippet for this, as my grep just showed and led me here.
6.1.3 is the version used on the affected page.

anybodyThe workaround for GDPR reasons is to follow the steps here to provide the library locally: https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/modules/webform/webform-frequently-asked-q...
Then its external loading script disappears.
