Node title field label

Thanks for testing out the module.

You should be able to select to hide or show the field label to go along with the read-only version of the field in the form widget settings.

There might be a problem if that selection isn't available - what's your setup?

The reason the title field behaves this way is because Drupal core has template overrides for this specific field which exclude the field label.

see
core/modules/node/templates/field--node--title.html.twig
core/themes/classy/templates/field/field--node--title.html.twig
core/themes/stable/templates/field/field--node--title.html.twig

There is no {{ label }} in these templates.

So if you want the title label to show up it needs to be using a different field template.

I guess the simplest way to do it would be to override field--node--title.html.twig in your theme and replace the contents of the template with the default field template from core/modules/system/templates/field.html.twig

I hope that answers your question.

Hi there, thanks for this module @thtas.

I'm reopening as this is clearly a bug: The module still shows the Label options dropdown on the form mode settings, despite ignoring them (even if the reason is that core overrides the template, the end UX is that the UI says one thing, and the outcome is different).

There's a workaround without forcing uses to add a custom template, to add the expected behavior to this. Attaching patch for it, I hope it helps!

Err, last patch might not work in all cases as core overrides might come after it. Re-rolled patch using `theme_suggestions_alter` hook instead, to make sure the template enforcement comes after core's.

Nice solution. Thanks!
