Problem/Motivation

Proposed resolution

  • Remove the "Add new field" and "Reuse existing field" rows from the manage fields table.
  • Add a local action button for "Add field".
  • "Add field" provides a form where the user:
    1. Enters the field label, which automatically generates a machine name as per usual.
    2. Selects either "Create new field" or "Reuse existing field", which reveal options with states...
      • For "Reuse existing field," the option reveals a selection box with the existing fields.
      • For "Add new field," the option reveals the field type selection box as well as the field settings (like maximum # values, entity reference entity type, etc.)
      • For both, the widget selection element is shown.
  • For now, submitting this form takes the user to the existing field instance settings form.
