Annotations Webform

Integrates the Annotations suite with the Webform module.

Requirements

• Annotations (annotations)
• Annotations Overlay (annotations_overlay)
• Webform (webform)

What you get

Two independent annotation targets:

webform__{id} — Webform (bundle-level) Annotate the webform itself: what it is for, who should use it, workflow guidance. No per-element annotations. Enable in Annotations → Scope.

webform_submission__{id} — Webform submission (per-element) Shows ? overlay triggers next to individual form elements while someone is filling in the form. Uses the element's visible label as the dialog heading. Enable in Annotations → Scope, then configure which elements are in scope.

If the site-wide "Show add triggers on targets that have no annotations" setting (Annotations → Settings) is on, elements with no annotations yet get a + trigger instead, opening a dialog with links to create them.

Setup

1. Enable this module: ddev drush en annotations_webform
2. Go to Admin → Config → Annotations → Scope
3. Expand Webforms to opt in specific forms for bundle-level annotations
4. Expand Webform submissions to opt in specific forms and configure which elements get ? triggers
5. Add annotation content via Admin → Config → Annotations

Demo recipe

A demo recipe lives at recipes/annotations_demo_webform/. It creates a sample onboarding webform, wires both target types, and imports 7 starter annotations. The recipe declares annotations_demo_types as a dependency, so no prerequisite step is needed:

drush recipe web/modules/contrib/annotations/recipes/annotations_demo_webform

Limitation

Overlay triggers only appear for top-level form elements. Elements nested inside Webform containers, fieldsets, or wizard pages are not yet supported.
