Deprecation: #69822 - Deprecate TCA settings of select fields¶
See forge#69822
Description¶

Additionally the usage of renderMode for select fields has been marked as deprecated.

- Key

- Datatype
- string
- Description

This setting specifies how the select field should be displayed. Available options are:
selectSingle- Normal select field for selecting a single value.selectSingleBox- Normal select field for selecting multiple values.selectCheckBox- List of checkboxes for selecting muliple values.selectMultipleSideBySide- Two select fields, items can be selected from the right field, selected items are displayed in the left select.selectTree- A tree for selecting hierarchical data.

- Display
Note
If a field has no renderType set but maxitems is set, the migration will set
renderType to selectSingle in case of maxitems is <= 1 otherwise renderType
is set to selectMultipleSideBySide
Impact¶
The old TCA settings can still be used. A migration handles the update of the settings.
Affected Installations¶
All installations with extensions that configure TCA select fields in the old format.
Migration¶
Extension authors need to add the correct renderType setting to their select
field definitions.
