Rough transcript of this week's meeting: Drupal Usability Meeting - 2024-01-05.txt

We discussed the following issues:

• #2811043: File formatter render absolute url to file
• #3389200: Field selection breaks conventions and increases cognitive load

NR and RTBC issues marked Needs usability review.

The group is actively tracking progress on these issues:

• #3318110: [meta] Reorganize Block items in the administration menu
• #2860419: [Meta] Appearance page is too long and confusing
• #2985168: [PP-1] Allow media items to be edited in a modal when using the field widget with notes:
  • @AaronMcHale: Issue could use some guidance.
    In comment #109 the issue was marked as postponed for needing input from UX, accessibility and media initiative. Apparently there are some outstanding UX/accessibility questions (but I'm not sure what they are). This was echoed in comment #111.
    Comment #144 is asking what is needed to move the issue along (the postponed state seems to be causing some delays/confusion as to how to proceed).
    Perhaps we can at least take a look at what the issue is doing and provide some recommendations/guidance on how it could be implemented.
• #2704931: Provide Drupal root path on file system admin form
• #2881892: UX: Hide entity ID in autocomplete widget
• #3163197: Allow hiding configured blocks in layout builder
• #2916876: Add visibility control conditions to blocks within Layout Builder
• #3247064: Error message presented when a BrokenPostRequestException is fired on AJAX submission can be misleading
• #3262935: Link field validation constraints don't give enough detail
• #3386762: Use modals in field creation and field edit flow
