It says: "Description: Indicates whether or not button should submit the form."
But should say something along the lines of: "Description: Indicates whether or not the submit handler should be run when the form is submitted using this button."
"submit the form" means: Send the webserver a request.
Which is done whether or not #executes_submit_callback is TRUE or FALSE.

jhodgdonThanks! Moving to the Documentation project, since the form API reference is in that git repository.

dalinian commentedWow a year later and still hasn't been changed?
Comment #3
jhodgdonIf you would like to make a patch, that would be welcome. No one likes to edit this particular document, so there are a ton of issues and no one makes the patches.
Drupal is a volunteer project. Complaining doesn't really help; doing something does. Thanks!

Comment #5
jhodgdonThanks for the patch!
But I don't think this description is quite correct. The text should only refer to the button where #executes_submit_callback is defined, not "any button".
