The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.On the filter settings screen (admin/config/content/formats/NAMEOFFORMAT, see screenshot attached), I have some user interface suggestions:
a) The Display radios with "Fieldset" and "Filter display plugin" options... : Change the option labels to say:
- Fieldset (user can show/hide text)
- Filter (text is shown/hidden based on conditions)
b) The Module and version area:
- Change the field label from "Module and version" to "Additional module"
- Change help text "An installed module. ..." to say
Filter as though this module/version is installed. Example: views-7.x-3.x

jhodgdonI forgot the screen shot, sorry!
Comment #2
jhodgdonI would still like to see these two UI changes made, to make the admin interface clearer to users. Should be a pretty quick change. :)
Comment #3
jhodgdonc) I also think maybe the Custom Values plugin needs a couple of description lines explaining what the settings page is doing (see attached screenshot).
- For the Identifier field, I suggest:
Enter the displayed name for your custom values group. Example: Experience level
- For the TYPE/VALUE fields, I suggest:
Enter a value in this group, and choose which roles on your site have this value by default. Example: Beginner
- And maybe we should change TYPE/VALUE to just be called "VALUE" in the user interface? I think calling it TYPE could be confusing, because we also use TYPE to indicate which filter plugin is being used (e.g., module, custom).

jhodgdonLooks good!
After these changes, I can see two more changes that should be done, I think:
d) In the custom values plugin:
Change the title of the Identifier field to Group (since the help/description) text now refers to this as a group, I think calling the field Group makes more sense than Identifier).
e) In the Modules plugin:
Filter as though this module/version is installed.
==
Filter as though this module/version is enabled.
Comment #6
jhodgdonRegarding (e), maybe we should change "installed" to "enabled" consistently everywhere in that plugin?
