The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.Problem/Motivation
The edit page of a storage type is a bit confusing based on the microcopy used for the labels. You have three fields. First label, then description and then title field label at last. it's a bit unclear to what which label/field refers to.
Proposed resolution
For the first field i would go with the naming scheme / pattern used for content types. Use Name as label and use an adjusted version of the content type label description The human-readable name of this storage type. This text will be displayed as part of the list on the storage data page. This name must be unique.
For the last field i would add a label description alongside, something like: The label of the title field of an entity of this storage type

rkolleryour choice for the label description is way better than mine. as a none native speaker i just wanted to convey the gist of information to communicate in the label description. tested the patch and the micro copy on the storage type edit page is now way more clear and explicit :) thank you!
