Field Widget Actions: Bring Functionality Closer to Content Editors

Wouldn't it be great if your website could assist you while you're creating content, not just in the CKEditor, but also when you're tagging content, entering a title, or uploading an image?

Imagine a button that renames your uploaded image file based on what’s actually visible in the image. Or a way to trigger an ECA action using the context of the field you just filled out.

Meet the Field Widget Actions module, a new submodule introduced in AI Core 1.2.0. It’s a simple yet flexible framework that lets you attach custom functionality to any field in your Drupal site. Using a clean UI, you can link multiple actions to a single field widget. Each action shows up as a button next to the form element, right where editors need it.

In this session, I’ll show how the module works, walk through real-world examples, and explain how you can create and attach your own custom plugins to bring useful tools closer to your content editors."
