I'm reaching out because I just can't find out why my custom datetime field isn't saving its value after I submit.

Context:

I've created a field containing two datetime fields. I will use it to add or remove events from an event list, depending on whether they have passed or not (for example if a festival is scheduled from the 12 to the 14 of December, the event will be removed after the 14th).

This is about the regular select widget that you can choose in the Manage form display page.

If this widget is linked to an entity_reference field allowing several bundles to be selected; then you end up with an #options populated as follow:

_none -> "None"
Bundle label 1 ->
  id1 -> "label of ID 1"
  id3 -> "label of ID 3"
  id4 -> "label of ID 4"
Bundle label 1 ->
  id5 -> "la ...

In the field definition, it can reference all the nodes of a given type.

The widget used for this field is a select widget

Depending the context, in the node edit form, I would like to use different views to populate the #options of the select widget.

Ex:

I need to add an "Accept terms and conditions" checkbox onto a user registration form. What is the best way to do this?

Also, it seems odd to me that there is no easy way to use radio buttons nor checkboxes on the User Registration form at admin/config/people/accounts/fields. Select lists are awkward, especially for multi-select lists on a mobile device.

Is there a way to output the list fields as ...

I have a custom form, that iI develop on a custom module to get some fields from a content type with an entity reference.

All is good, I can get all information, and I can save the chosen value on a field of content type.

Hi there I'm using drupal 9.x and the forms api to generate a dynamic form. Altough I'm living in the Netherlands where the date format standard is 'dd/mm/yyyy'. I've looked around on the internet for recent ways to modify that format in the html input. But all ways seems to be deprecated cause they don't seem to work for me. I've tried stuff like:

• status

Both dismissible and status are fields added by the

I have a feature to migrate from Drupal 7 to Drupal 9. This allows me to build a custom form made up of static fields, which I define in the code of my module, and fields dynamically retrieved from an entity.

It worked with the "ctools_field_invoke_field function", which relies on the Chaos Tools module. This function is itself based on a native Drupal function "field_default_form".

I have a Drupal 8 site already utilizing core Contact Form. However, we now need a more complex form and thinking about installing a contributed module: Webform (https://www.drupal.org/project/webform).

My concern is that having both Contact form and Webform enabled, will there be an issue like one impacting the other?

Thanks.

Here's a different question with the same taxonomy term reference field I mentioned in my previous question.
