# Feature: #94765 - Introduce showNewRecordLink option

See [forge#94765](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/94765)

## Description

Previously, it was not possible to disable the "new record" link in
TCA `inline` elements, without simultaneously also disabling either the
"+" button in each inline records' header (using
`['appearance']['enabledControls']['new']`) or all other
"level links" (using `['appearance']['levelLinksPosition'] = 'none'`).

To allow integrators to disable this link without any further side
effects, the option `showNewRecordLink` has been introduced
to TCA type `inline`.

With this introduction, the already mentioned
`['appearance']['enabledControls']['new']` option does from now on
only manage the display of the "+" button of each inline record and does
not longer affect the "New record" link.

Furthermore the `['appearance']['levelLinksPosition']` option does
no longer support `none` as value. This option should only be used to
position the level links, not to hide them. This can be
achieved by setting the corresponding link specific options
`showAllLocalizationLink`, `showSynchronizationLink` and
`showNewRecordLink` to `false`. A TCA migration is in place,
replacing all TCA configurations, using the
`['appearance']['levelLinksPosition']` option with `none` as value
and showing where code adaptations need to take place.

If not set, the new `showNewRecordLink` option defaults to `true`.

An example to disable the "New record" button:

```php
'inlineField' => [
    'label' => 'Inline without New record link',
    'config' => [
        'type' => 'inline',
        'appearance' => [
            'showNewRecordLink' => false,
        ],
    ],
],
```

## Impact

It's now possible to disable the "New record" link of TCA `inline` elements
without any side effects.
