# Feature: #79812 - Allow overriding cropVariants for Image Manipulation {#feature-79812-allow-overriding-cropvariants-for-image-manipulation}

See [forge#79812](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/79812)

## Description {#description}

With the introduction of [forge#75880](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/75880) you now can define multiple cropVariants in TCA.
With this feature it is now possible to change or override these cropVariants via TSconfig.

Setting a FormEngine option through `TCEFORM.sys_file_reference.crop.config.cropVariants.*` does now work.

```typoscript
TCEFORM.sys_file_reference.crop.config.cropVariants {
    default {
        title = Default desktop
        selectedRatio = NaN
        allowedAspectRatios {
            NaN {
                title = free
                value = 0.0
            }
        }
    }
    specialMobile {
        title = Our special mobile variant
        selectedRatio = NaN
        allowedAspectRatios {
            4:3 {
                title = ratio 4/3
                value = 1.3333333
            }
        }
    }
}
```

## Impact {#impact}

It is not possible to change or override cropVariants via Page and User TSconfig.
