Project: 
Drupal core
Introduced in branch: 
11.2.x
Introduced in version: 
11.2.0
Issue links: 
https://www.drupal.org/node/3448457
Description: 

In order to not have a description in a form mode the description field must be set to NULL. Previously, an empty string was allowed.

Before

langcode: en
status: true
dependencies:
  module:
    - user
id: user.register
label: Register
description:''
targetEntityType: user
cache: true

This is core.entity_form_mode.user.register.yml before the change.

After

langcode: en
status: true
dependencies:
  module:
    - user
id: user.register
label: Register
description: null
targetEntityType: user
cache: true

This is core.entity_form_mode.user.register.yml after the change.

If this field is NULL, \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityDisplayModeBase::getDescription() will return an empty string, for backwards compatibility.

Impacts: 
Site builders, administrators, editors
Module developers

We have tested using NULL in this fails. For example

In RecipeConfigInstaller.php line 70:

There were validation errors in core.entity_form_mode.paragraph.preview:
- description: This value should not be blank.
