I don't understand what this function is about?

I guess your question is why not to inline this within normalizeFields, right?
I thought it'd be best that it stays as a separate function because this acts like the public registry we don't have. So when we have the registry, it'd be a simple call switch.

No, I'm actually not sure what this function is about. Is it some kind of getFieldTypeByName or something? If that's the case, I kind of expected this to loop through the fields and compare "id" or something. The if/else or switch feels a bit weird.

This function just loads the defaults defined by each type in the corresponding file. I guess getFieldTypeByName could work as a name as well.

Should it be something like
[ string, number ... ].find( fieldType => fieldType.type === type )

I find this a lot clearer. Thanks for the follow-up

@youknowriad I lost the comment attached to the commit, so continuing here: perhaps FieldTypeName is a good fit for this one.

Works for me, although "string" would have worked for me assuming we'll allow registration at some point.

What?
After #73387 each field type provided a normalize function that effectively acted as a factory for the given field type. This changes it back to return an object with the default properties.
Why?
