Problem/Motivation

For a date form element, the theme adds an empty line between the form element and its description, which is shown after the form element. It seems like the description is for the next form element, which is confusing.

This does not happen with the Claro theme, the admin theme used by default in Drupal 11.

Steps to reproduce

  • Create a date field on an entity, with a description
  • Edit the entity
  • See how the date fields are rendered

Proposed resolution

The spacing comes from container-inline in datetime-form.html.twig. The theme should probably not use that class.

The existing gap has been reduced. It should be clear for which field the description is.

This change now breaks the layout of the publication date module I guess:
overlapping help text at date fields
