This project is not covered by Drupal’s security advisory policy.

This module is a port of CCK Field Definitions for Drupal 7. It will support the new Field API, instead of CCK.

The purpose of this module is to display to the user a list of node type fields, along with their descriptions, in a dictionary-like fashion. This is especially useful for node types that have a large amount of fields (hundreds) because it allows for viewing all the fields at a glance and studying the definitions without having to go into the actual node creation form.

This functionality can be enabled/disabled for any node type.

Users with the correct permissions are also able to edit the definitions in-place, which is useful for non-technical users that need to revise field definitions periodically. All the changes are reflected immediately in the corresponding node type form.

Planned features

  • Support for collapsible fieldsets and weight-based sorting for displaying the fields in a human-friendly way.
  • Support for field definitions at the entity level, rather than node-level
