# Breaking: #67753 - Drop "Show secondary options"

See [forge#67753](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/67753)

## Description

When editing records, the checkbox at the bottom "Show secondary options (palettes)" has been dropped, palettes are now
always shown and the collapse buttons are no longer rendered.

## Impact

### PageTSconfig

Setting `options.enableShowPalettes` has no effect anymore and can be removed from `PageTSconfig`.

### TCA

Setting `canNotCollapse` in `ctrl` and `palettes` section are obsolete and can be dropped:

```php
$GLOBALS['TCA']['aTable']['ctrl']['canNotCollapse'] = 1; // Obsolete
$GLOBALS['TCA']['aTable']['palettes']['aPaletteName']['canNotCollapse'] = 1; // Obsolete
```

### PHP

The following method has been dropped. If an extension calls it, a PHP fatal error will be thrown.
This was an internal method and external usage is unlikely:

```php
\TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Controller\EditDocumentController->functionMenus()
```

The following properties have been dropped, calling those may trigger a PHP warning level error, external usage is unlikely:

```php
\TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Controller\EditDocumentController->MOD_MENU
\TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Controller\EditDocumentController->MOD_SETTINGS
\TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Form\FormEngine->palettesCollapsed
```

## Affected Installations

In the rare case that an extension uses one of the above methods or properties, a fatal PHP error may be triggered.

## Migration

The above properties can be dropped, the `PageTS` and `TCA` settings have no effect anymore.
