Block F - Slot 17

Slot 17: 3:00 pm America/Los_Angeles - November 7, 2025

Backdrop contains several different methods for how to put ALT text on your images. None are perfect, and there is room for improvement. In this discussion I would like to cover:

  • How to store ALT text with Image fields (see video)
  • How to store ALT text with Image (File) entities (see video)
  • We can improve this! How do we want core to handle this, in the future?
