The Designing Connected Content book has arrived. “Plan and model digital products for today and tomorrow.” I have yet to dive in but I see Drupal screenshots and lists of field types like entity reference, long text (formatted), boolean, number (float), etc.

Today a content strategist collegue asked me about that list builder thing in Drupal. Show items of type x, filtered by y, sorted by x and only show fields 1, 3 and 6 of each item. And is it available for Drupal 8 as well?

Yes, that’s 1. Field UI and 2. Views module, which are both part of the Drupal core package.

We take Drupal core features for granted that other systems are still struggling with. They are also features people struggle with in Drupal because of hard to use user interfaces. I would love to see research and design work happen around how we can improve Field UI and Views UI.
