# Feature: #106092 - Associative array keys for TCA valuePicker items {#feature-106092-1742366955}

See [forge#106092](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/106092)

## Description {#description}

It is now possible to define associative array keys for the `items`
configuration of the TCA type `valuePicker`.
The new keys are called `label` and `value`.

This follows the change made previously to the `items` configuration
of the TCA types `select`, `radio`, and `check`.
See [forge#99739](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/99739).

## Impact {#impact}

The TCA `items` configuration can now be defined in a more consistent
and readable way using associative array keys. This eliminates ambiguity
about whether the label or value comes first.

Optional keys such as `icon`, `group`, or `description` can be
used as needed.
