# Breaking: #75747 - EXT:form - Removed useDefaultContentObject setting

See [forge#75747](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/75747)

## Description

The TypoScript option `useDefaultContentObject` of the FORM cObject has been removed.
Setting this value to 0 allowed the usage of the prehistoric content type `mailform`.

## Impact

It is not possible to configure the rendering of the FORM cOject. The setting is not evaluated anymore.

## Affected Installations

Any installation that uses the TypoScript option `useDefaultContentObject = 0`.

## Migration

Remove the TypoScript option from any TypoScript settings. Migrate manually to use the features of EXT:form.
