The interface of the YaST Partitioner has reached a point in which is really hard to deal with it. We need to find a way to move forward.
As a first step, we have created this document that explains the problem and we hope it can be used as a base to discuss the future of the Partitioner interface.

What I've never understood is why format/don't format and mount/don't mount are selections and not simply checkboxes. Surely it's a binary decision.
So it could look like this:
┌Formatting Options──────────────┐ │ │ │ [x] Format device │ │ [x] Encrypt device │ │ │ │ Filesystem │ │ XFS▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒↓ │ │ [Options... ] │ │ │ │ [x] Keep existing password │ │ │ │ New encryption password │ │ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ │ │ Repeat encryption password │ │ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────┘
┌Mounting Options─────────┐ │ │ │ [x] Mount device │ │ │ │ Mount point │ │ [Fstab options...] │ │ [Crypttab options...] │ │ │ │ [Subvolume handling] │ │ │ └─────────────────────────┘
And the partition id is definitely misplaced in an fs formatting dialog. It would fit more into that otherwise rather empty partition 'role' dialog.

Hi, seeing your pictures, it maybe even make sense to use checkbox frame which can fit ever nicer there. For example how it looks like see https://documentation.suse.com/sles/12-SP4/html/SLES-all/images/yast2_bootlo... ( part with password protection - do not ask me why our style has hidden border ) and mayb also for that keep existing password...change it to reset password checkbox frame and if not checked, it auto disable that password text fields.
