2. 8.9.x core/modules/field/field.api.php \hook_field_widget_WIDGET_TYPE_form_alter()

Alter widget forms for a specific widget provided by another module.

Modules can implement hook_field_widget_WIDGET_TYPE_form_alter() to modify a specific widget form, rather than using hook_field_widget_form_alter() and checking the widget type.

This hook can only modify individual elements within a field widget and cannot alter the top level (parent element) for multi-value fields. In most cases, you should use hook_field_widget_multivalue_WIDGET_TYPE_form_alter() instead and loop over the elements.

Parameters

$element: The field widget form element as constructed by \Drupal\Core\Field\WidgetBaseInterface::form().

$form_state: The current state of the form.

$context: An associative array. See hook_field_widget_form_alter() for the structure and content of the array.
