# Breaking: #63818 - Removed Static file edit functionality {#breaking-63818}

See [forge#63818](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/63818)

## Description {#description}

A special TCA configuration enabled RTE fields to write its content to sections within files. The configuration
was done in `defaultExtras` array, `static_write` section and documented in
TCA reference->AdditionalFeatures->SpecialConfigurationOptions.

This functionality has been removed without substitution.

## Impact {#impact}

Content of RTE fields can no longer be written to files.

## Affected installations {#affected-installations}

In the unlikely case that this feature was used by anyone its usage can be located by searching for `static_write`
keyword in TCA configuration.

## Migration {#migration}

Move this logic elsewhere, eg. use hooks in DataHandler to write out DB content.
