# Breaking: #72462 - Removed deprecated JavaScript code

See [forge#72462](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/72462)

## Description

Removed deprecated JavaScript code

The following JavaScript functions have been removed:

`showClickmenu_raw`
`Clickmenu.show`
`Clickmenu.populateData`
`ShortcutManager.createShortcut`
`jsfunc.tbe_editor.getBackendPath`

## Impact

Using one of the methods above will result in JavaScript errors in the TYPO3 CMS backend.

## Affected Installations

Instances which use custom calls to one of the methods above.

## Migration

For `Clickmenu.show` use `TYPO3.ClickMenu` instead.
For `Clickmenu.populateData` use `TYPO3.ClickMenu` instead.
For `showClickmenu_raw` use `TYPO3.ClickMenu` instead.
For `ShortcutManager.createShortcut` use `TYPO3.ShortcutMenu` directly.
