Question

Drupal version 8.4.4

I have a paragraph type defined (For example Links), which only has one field of type link.

And I have Entity reference revisions field in my node edit form.

When I view the node i see the referenced field Label, How to make this label configurable?

Answer 1

You have a few options:

• As commented, either make it a non-paragraph field
• Implement some custom form alter, change the the label there
• Use two different paragraph types with a different label, allow only one of the two on each node type.

Answer 2

You can extend the entity with a custom class and set it as the class to use for that entity type.

Extend the Paragraph entity class and override the label() method like this:

class ParagraphExt extends Paragraph {
  function label() {
    return "your label";
  }
}

Then set it as the class to use in hook_entity_type_alter like:

function hook_entity_type_alter(array &$entity_types) {
  $entity_types['paragraph']->setClass(ParagraphExt::class);
}
