Description
Question: Is it considered a bug if the docs describe behaviour but the default form theme does not implement the behaviour?
Symfony version(s) affected
7.3 (and all versions back to 4.1)
Description
Originally raised in the docs repo: symfony/symfony-docs#21147
The DateTimeType docs describe config options for date_label
and time_label
.
These values are set in buildForm
method and passed to the child forms.
However these values are never displayed in the bootstrap_base_layout.html.twig
theme. This is due to the fact that the form theme renders the child form widget
directly.
Looking back in the repo history has always been the case:

How to reproduce
Reproduction Repo: https://github.com/leevigraham/symfony-datetime
Possible Solution(s)
Render the child date
and time
widget with form_row()
. This would render the errors and labels… or include {{ form_label() }}
explicitly (see additional context below)
Additional Context
Config was originally added here: #21002 but without an update to the form form_div_layout.html.twig
. I guess it was assumed this would be added in user land themes.
However…
The bootstrap_base_layout.html.twig
does include labels for the datetime_widget
in a sr-only
class. It also includes labels for date_widget
and time_widget
although the implementations seem inconsistent.
