This is also allowed in a parents :php:`['types']['columnsOverrides']` section. Affected Installations ====================== Instances using one of the above inline properties should adapt to the new :php:`overrideChildTca` property. Migration ========= A :php:`TCA` auto-migration is in place. It will transfer the old settings to the new property as shown below and logs deprecation entries if there is no :php:`overrideChildTca` defined. This allows extension authors to keep both the old and the new settings to support CMS v7 and v8 at the same time without having deprecations logged. foreign_types before and after transition to overrideChildTca: .. code-block:: php 'columns' => [ 'aField' => [ 'config' => [ 'type' => 'inline', 'foreign_types' => [ 'aForeignType' => [ 'showitem' => 'aChildField', ], ], ... ], ], ... ], .. code-block:: php 'columns' => [ 'aField' => [ 'config' => [ 'type' => 'inline', 'overrideChildTca' => [ 'types' => [ 'aForeignType' => [ 'showitem' => 'aChildField', ], ], ], ... ], ], ... ], foreign_selector_fieldTcaOverride before and after transition to overrideChildTca: .. code-block:: php 'columns' => [ 'aField' => [ 'config' => [ 'type' => 'inline', 'foreign_selector' => 'uid_local', 'foreign_selector_fieldTcaOverride' => [ 'config' => [ 'appearance' => [ 'elementBrowserType' => 'file', ], ], ], ... ], ], ... ], .. code-block:: php 'columns' => [ 'aField' => [ 'config' => [ 'type' => 'inline', 'foreign_selector' => 'uid_local', 'overrideChildTca' => [ 'columns' => [ 'uid_local' => [ 'config' => [ 'appearance' => [ 'elementBrowserType' => 'file', ], ], ], ], ], ... ], ], ... ], foreign_record_defaults before and after transition to overrideChildTca: .. code-block:: php 'columns' => [ 'aField' => [ 'config' => [ 'type' => 'inline', 'foreign_record_defaults' => [ 'aChildField' => 42, ], ... ], ], ... ], .. code-block:: php 'columns' => [ 'aField' => [ 'config' => [ 'type' => 'inline', 'overrideChildTca' => [ 'columns' => [ 'aChildField' => [ 'config' => [ 'default' => 42, ], ], ], ], ... ], ], ... ], .. index:: Backend, TCA
