# Feature: #79341 - TCA richtext configuration in config section {#feature-79341}

See [forge#79341](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/79341)

## Description {#description}

A new config setting `enableRichtext` has been introduced. It enables richtext editing on the text field and replaces the old setting `defaultExtras`.

## Impact {#impact}

Setting `enableRichtext` will result in the text field being rendered with a richtext editor. Config example:

```php
'columns' => [
    'content' => [
        'config' => [
            'type' => 'text',
            'enableRichtext' => true,
        ],
    ],
];
```
