# Deprecation: #84222- Usage of GridContainer form element

See [forge#84222](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/84222)

## Description

The form element `GridContainer` is useless, buggy and will be removed in v10.

## Impact

Usage of the form element `GridContainer` will trigger a deprecation warning:

## Affected installations

All instances who make usage of the form element `GridContainer`.

## Migration

Remove the `GridContainer` form elements from your form definition and use `GridRow` child elements only.

      -
        type: GridContainer
        identifier: gridcontainer-1
