Tagify module added to Drupal CMS and is now the default field widget for certain reference fields

Affected components:

• drupal_cms_admin_ui
• drupal_cms_content_type_base
• drupal_cms_blog
• drupal_cms_case_study
• drupal_cms_events
• drupal_cms_news
• drupal_cms_page
• drupal_cms_person
• drupal_cms_project

Problem:

Drupal CMS is using Autocomplete (tags style) as default widget for entity reference fields. Updating these fields to use the Tagify module transforms these field types into an intuitive tags input component, improving and modernizing them.

How to fix it

1. Install and enable the Tagify module.
2. To set the default for new fields, go to /admin/config/tagify/settings (Configuration > User interface > Tagify settings) and enable the setting.

To use Tagify on existing Drupal CMS sites

1. Install and enable the Tagify module.
2. Go to /admin/structure/types (Structure > Content types)
3. In the Operations dropdown button for Basic Page, click "Manage form display".
4. In the Tags (field_tags) Widget, change from Autocomplete (Tags style) to Tagify.
5. Click the save button for the form and verify your change by adding or editing a page.
6. Repeat for any other the other content types on your site that use the autocomplete widget.
