Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Problem/Motivation
When building or maintaining a site, I use the "Manage fields" operation for content types as least 10 times as much as any other operation.
Proposed resolution
Let's make "Manage fields" the default operation.
User interface changes
The "Manage fields" operation is first in the dropbutton, followed by "Manage display," "Edit," and then "Delete."

yoroy CreditAttribution: yoroy commentedI was about to suggest that this is a symptom-fix for a relatively useless 'edit' screen, similar to #663946: Merge "List links" page into "Edit menu" page but the edit screen for a content type has a bit more to it. Not that much but enough to make merging the two a bit more involved than just combining everyting into one screen.
I agree that 'manage fields' is the one you want to go to most of the times.
