Problem/Motivation
In #2446511: Add a "preconfigured field options" concept in Field UI we added preconfigured fields in Field UI, but the form elements for the field storage and field settings which are preconfigured still show up as usual in Field UI forms. We need to figure out what to do with them (e.g. disable or hide them completely).
Also see #1847596-261: Remove Taxonomy term reference field in favor of Entity reference (third paragraph) for more context.
Proposed resolution
To be discussed.
Remaining tasks
Discuss and write a patch.
User interface changes
Possible changes to the "Add field" and "Edit field settings" forms.
API changes
Nope.
