This module adds a convenient "Disable" button to field configuration forms on display and form display pages. It allows users to quickly disable fields with a single click, eliminating the need to manually drag them to the disabled section and save the page.
Overview
The Disable Field Button module adds a Disable button to each field's configuration form on the Manage display and Manage form display pages.
In Drupal core, disabling a field on an entity display requires dragging it to the Disabled section at the bottom of the page. This module adds a one-click alternative: expand a field's settings, click Disable, and the field is immediately moved to the Disabled section.
Features
- Adds a red Disable button alongside the existing Update and Cancel buttons in field settings forms
- Works on both Manage display (view) and Manage form display (form) pages
- Works for all entity types and bundles (nodes, taxonomy terms, users, media, etc.)
- Saves the display immediately — no need to scroll down and click Save
- Shows a confirmation status message after disabling
- Zero configuration required — install and it just works
Requirements
- Drupal 11
- Field UI module (core)
Installation

Usage
- Navigate to any Manage display or Manage form display page (e.g.,
/admin/structure/types/manage/article/display) - Click the gear icon on any field row to expand its settings
- Click the Disable button
- The field is immediately removed from the active display
