# Deprecation: #73068 - Deprecated "default" argument on f:case

See [forge#73068](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/73068)

## Description

Due to the switch to Fluid standalone, the following template markup is not supported anymore:

```html
<f:case default="true"> ... </f:case>
```

It must be changed to read:

```html
<f:defaultCase> ... </f:defaultCase>
```

A compatibility layer is in place which logs the deprecation.

## Impact

Use of "default" argument on f:case will trigger a deprecation log entry.

## Affected Installations

Any TYPO3 site which uses f:case with argument "default" regardless of the argument value.

## Migration

Switch `f:case` to `f:defaultCase` for the case node that is your default case.
