Drupal 8.x

Hello!

Currently I'm trying to upgrade my drupal 8.9.20 site to drupal 9+, I have been followed the article "How to upgrade from Drupal 8 to Drupal 9" and set up the upgrade_status module for detecting modules that need to be upgraded. In this process, I ran into two problems:

Hello everyone,

Currently, I am encountering dependency issues while trying to upgrade the Drupal core to version 9. I have been following the steps from this page, by using the upgrade_status module, I have upgraded all modules that are compatible with Drupal 8. Only the modules that require Drupal 9 remain. I plan to upgrade them after I successfully upgrade the Drupal core.

And the commands I ran for upgrading Drupal core were:

Since menu templates do not have direct access to the user object, we need to pass it manually in my_theme.theme

function my_theme_preprocess_menu(&$variables) {
$current_user = \Drupal::currentUser();
$variables['current_user_name'] = $current_user->getDisplayName();
}

Now, you can use it inside menu.html.twig

<p>Hello, {{ current_user_name }}!</p>
 

Is there a module or another way to add custom fields to a Views block, where the field would be filled in when placing the block in the Block layout, similar to how "Items per block" is selected?
For example, a Background Color field where one of the predefined colors could be chosen.

Maybe these fields should be entered into views under "Block settings" or in some other way:
