The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.The options form for argument handlers is pretty big, and if validators provide their own options it gets even larger. It would be nice if any options provided by a validator plugin were automatically placed in their own area, maybe a fieldset, to distinguish them from other options.
This might be a separate feature request, but it would also be nice to be able to provide some kind of description of a particular validator. Maybe there could be a space in this area for validator plugin options for a description of the validator so a user would have a better idea of whether or not this validator is what they want to use.

aclight commentedHere's a patch that does something like what I was thinking of. I'm not sure if there's a better way to use FAPI to do this because the way I do it in the patch feels a bit hackish, but I believe Earl mentioned that having these all be one level down in the FAPI hierarchy would be problematic.

aclight commentedAlso, here's a screenshot of this in action. Someone with some style taste can probably make it look prettier than I can. :)
