# Breaking: #68092 - TCA: Remove wizard hideParent and \_HIDDENFIELD

See [forge#68092](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/68092)

## Description

Wizards defined in `TCA` for display in `FormEngine` allowed to hide the "parent"
field with the configuration options `_HIDDENFIELD` on main wizard level, and with
the `hideParent` option for single wizards.

Both options have been dropped.

## Impact

The configuration options have no effect anymore, the main field will show up.

## Affected Installations

A search through the TER code showed not a single extension that used the above options.
A 3rd party extension is affected if a `TCA` column configuration is used like:

```php
'aField' => array(
	'config' => array(
		...
		'wizards' => array(
			'_HIDDENFIELD' => TRUE,
			'aWizard' => array(
				'hideParent' => array(
					...
				),
			),
		),
	),
),
```

## Migration

Wizards can not trigger that a main field is not rendered anymore. If this kind of functionality
is needed, it is recommended to register an own `renderType` in the `NodeFactory` for this
type of field instead to route the element rendering to an own class.
