Description of the need
From @klonos in https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/4890
With the label of the action being "Enable" as it currently is, it does indeed not make 100% sense in this case (although there is some logic that supported it being used, and it somewhat kinda matches other similar UI patterns).
Currently, with the PR as it is (and as @olafgrabienski pointed out), there is a small UX WTF when you click "Customize" and the display is moved to the "customized" section (without it actually being customized).
Proposed solution
Here's what @klonos is thinking would be a better UX:
- We leave the button label as "Customize" as per the current PR
- Change the action of that button so that it leads to the "Manage display" page for that display.
- Add a "Cancel" link/button to the "Manage display" form.

I'd suggest module search to get discussed as a possible top priority. Our module search page on backdropcms.org doesn't do a good job. Neither does the module search on admin/...
