# Breaking: #77062 - Example image in TS constants descriptions removed {#breaking-77062}

See [forge#77062](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/77062)

## Description {#description}

In previous TYPO3 versions it was possible to add help text and an help image to a certain category or
configuration option in the TypoScript Constant Editor of the TYPO3 Backend. This was previously done via an
additional Constant Editor option within the `TSConstantEditor` object.

The functionality has been removed without substitution.

Along with that change, the following PHP methods have been removed:

-   `ExtendedTemplateService::ext_getTSCE_config_image()`
-   `ConfigurationForm::ext_getTSCE_config_image()`

The following public properties have been removed:

-   `ExtendedTemplateService::$ext_localGfxPrefix`
-   `ExtendedTemplateService::$ext_localWebGfxPrefix`

Within `ConfigurationForm::ext_initTSstyleConfig()` the second and third parameter have been removed.

## Impact {#impact}

Setting an option `TSConstantEditor.basic.image = EXT:sys_note/ext_icon.png` for a category or configuration option in TypoScript constants has no effect anymore.

Calling any of the removed methods will result in a fatal PHP error.

Using any of the removed properties will result in a PHP warning.

Calling `ConfigurationForm::ext_initTSstyleConfig()` with the second or third parameter will result in a PHP warning.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Any TYPO3 installation with extended TypoScript constant editor configuration.

## Migration {#migration}

Remove the affected TypoScript constant editor configuration code, and any reference to the removed PHP
methods and properties.
