API

class AfterFlexFormDataStructureIdentifierInitializedEvent

Fully qualified name

\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Configuration\Event\AfterFlexFormDataStructureIdentifierInitializedEvent

Listeners to this event are able to modify or enhance the data structure identifier, which is used for a given TCA flex field.

This event can be used to add additional data to an identifier. Be careful here, especially if stuff from the source record like uid or pid is added! This may easily lead to issues with data handler details like copy or move records, localization and version overlays. Test this very well! Multiple listeners may add information to the same identifier here - take care to namespace array keys. Information added here can be later used in the data structure related PSR-14 Events (BeforeFlexFormDataStructureParsedEvent and AfterFlexFormDataStructureParsedEvent) again.

See the note on FlexFormTools regarding the schema of $dataStructure.
