@colemanw this looks good but I think the form validation stopped working (ideally would be a callback rather than in the form) |

@colemanw better add this to the setting spec if we have a new type

@eileenmcnaughton which spec is that?

Hmm, those docs suggest that html_type is preferred over quickform_type but when I was stepping through the code, html_type was getting ignored by the buildForm fn, which is why I felt free to make up something new and stick it in there.
Buuuuut,
Maybe instead of making up something new, we should just apply this styling to all checkboxes on settings pages. It's nicer that what's there already. Grep shows seven settings other than this one of type checkboxes.

Yeah - that makes sense. Probably we do prefer html_type since it makes more sense but the code couldn't get there all in one go...

Wow this one is 50 points! |

@eileenmcnaughton as we discussed I've increased the scope of this to restyle all 7 settings fields of type "checkboxes". In the process I was able to gut the entirety of I fixed the form validation. I agree ideally it would be a callback in the settings metadata... but that mechanism doesn't provide any means of supplying a message to the user. |

@colemanw any ideas on how to make that a little prettier

No I'm just resigned to the fact that quickform is ugly. |

Overview
Restyle the Components setting field. Previously this was an AdvMultiSelect element, then it was converted by #14393 to Select2, which still doesn't look quite right. This changes the style to a checkbox list which reuses the familiar row-highlight style.

Notes
This lays some groundwork for a simplification of #13565
