entity_labels

Entity Labels provides a Reports page that surfaces all entity type and field label metadata in one place — with CSV export and CSV import for bulk updates. It has no hard module dependencies beyond Drupal core. Optional integrations with Field Group and Custom Field are activated automatically when those modules are present.

Features

Browse, export, and bulk-update every entity type and field label on your Drupal site — with multilingual support out of the box.

Browse & Explore

• Entities tab — browse all entity types that support bundles; drill down by entity type; view label, description, and help text.
• Fields tab — browse all fields across all bundles; drill down by entity type and bundle; view label, description, field type, and allowed values. Fields are ordered to match the default form display on bundle views.

Export & Import

• CSV export — scoped to the current view (all, entity type, or bundle). Every export includes a notes column and a langcode column to target translations.
• CSV import — upload a modified CSV to bulk-update labels and descriptions. allowed_values and field_type are display-only and never imported.
• Multilingual — import targets the language specified in the langcode column.

Optional Module Support

• Field Group — groups from the default form mode appear as rows with field_type = field_group; group label and description are exportable and importable.
• Custom Field (4.x) — each column within a custom field gets its own row with a field_column identifier; column label and description are exportable and importable.

Drush Commands

• entity-labels:entity-export — export entity labels to CSV; supports --entity-type filter.
• entity-labels:field-export — export field labels to CSV; supports --entity-type and --bundle filters.
