Description of the need
Sometimes you want to force content-editors to provide a summary. Use case would include
- You're showing it in a teaser display mode
- You're using it for the metatag description
- You're using it for search results
The summary input is easy to miss, but is really useful as it avoids needing a second text field for teaser text.
Proposed solution
Implemented for D9^ https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/1704864 .
Setup options for the "Text area with a summary" widget to allow for the Summary field to be "Shown by default" (instead of collapsed with js) and a field level setting to make the summary value "Required".
Alternatives
This contrib module seems to provide some of these options https://backdropcms.org/project/text_summary_options

@indigoxela - I agree, I mentioned the SVG topic specifically for the dev meeting. I think we'll definitely want Nate involved in that discussion. Good call!
