Description of the need
Whenever one creates a new field, the "Global settings" section, which contains the field cardinality setting, is easily overlooked.
So, I attach a field to a node type, then try to create a node of that type, but realize, that I forgot to set the cardinality to a value higher than "1".
Then I go back to the field settings and update the cardinality value, then go back to create a node. ... Some unnecessary clicks in my opinion. I bet, I'm not the only one.
Proposed solution
Expand the fieldset initially, so it's getting a little more attention, when creating fields.
Alternatives that have been considered
Hook form alter... :wink:
