[Block Bindings] Human readable label for Meta fields #65066

Closed dannyreaktiv closed 1 month ago

dannyreaktiv commented 2 months ago

What problem does this address?

Block bindings are a very powerful tool, and the UI is good, but the experience of assigning a meta field means the user sees the meta key.

What is your proposed solution?

I propose adding a label/title/name to the $args array in register_meta() that would then be exposed in the Block Bindings and available for use elsewhere in WordPress.

Personally, I think that would totally make sense, not only for block bindings but potentially for other use cases as well. I'll try to get something working if I find time to see what it could look like.

I've started exploring this in this core pull request that I hope can help with the discussion. I'll try to get the respective one in Gutenberg.

I've started another PR in Gutenberg to see how it could look like and the necessary changes: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/65099
