After creating a metatag field for a content type, the field shows up on the content type's "Manage display" form with an "Empty formatter" format. Work out how to hide this field from the display settings, given it is completely redundant.

I'm not sure how? The field formatter seemed to be required?

Marking this "postponed" as I won't be looking at it until after 1.0.

8.x-1.0 is out, so this is fair game again.

I was wondering the same thing. Should the Metatag fields be displayed on Manage Display form? Since the metatags go on the header, what is the point of them being shown on manage display. Wouldn't they be printed either way.

This is another topic - there's another issue for the "manage display" thing: #2579327: Removed Metatag field from "Manage display" form

Sorry, I pasted the wrong issue number, I think I'd intended to paste in #2844699: Hide the unnecessary "Metatag" field from entity display settings.

That said, we don't need multiple issues, so lets close the other ones and refocus this one.
