1 field.form.inc field_widget_field($element, $form_state)

Retrieves the field definition for a widget's helper callbacks.

Widgets helper element callbacks (such as #process, #element_validate, #value_callback, ...) should use field_widget_field() and field_widget_instance() instead of field_info_field() and field_info_instance() when they need to access field or instance properties. See hook_field_widget_form() for more details.

Parameters

$element: The structured array for the widget.

$form_state: The form state.

Return value

The $field definition array for the current widget.:
