If you’re looking to enhance the usability of your Drupal site by limiting the text formats available for each WYSIWYG text input based on page type, the “Allowed Formats” contrib module is the perfect solution:
Allowed Formats
https://www.drupal.org/project/allowed_formats
This module allows you to specify which text formats are available for each field instance, improving usability by hiding potentially confusing options like the text format selection, the “about text formats” link, and associated guidelines. You’ll find a set of checkboxes in the field settings (note: these are not in the widget settings on the form display tab) for text fields.
To add this module to your Drupal 9.x/10.0.x application, use the following Composer command:
composer require 'drupal/allowed_formats:^2.0'To add this module to your Drupal 10.1.x application or higher, use the following Composer command:
composer require 'drupal/allowed_formats:^3.0'To install this module to your Drupal application, execute the following Drush command:
