The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.Problem/Motivation
This is about two possible UX improvements:
1) Currently the layout label is overriding the element label in the widget, and that makes it lose the information about the paragraph type.
2) In the Add/Edit form dialog, the title of the dialog is always "Edit Form", while it would be useful to have the paragraph type in there as well (much like the current remove dialog has)

2) Include the paragraph type in the dialog title:

quicksketchThis seems super low-impact on existing code and gives a pretty big usability boost for our editors. We're constantly having the challenge of identifying what paragraph type is being used. This both fixes an issue with the existing gray labels (if you're using them), and gives the dialog an indicator (if you're not using the gray labels). Tested and works great for me.
