fieldControl

The field of type group can enable all common field control options. Furthermore the following are available:

elementBrowser

Type: array
Path: $GLOBALS['TCA'][$table]['columns'][$field]['config']['fieldControl']
Scope: fieldControl
Types: group

The element browser field control used in type='group' renders a button to open an element browser. It is enabled by default if rendering a group element.

insertClipboard

Path: $GLOBALS['TCA'][$table]['columns'][$field]['config']['fieldControl']
type: array
Scope: fieldControl
Types: group

The clipboard control adds a control button for type='group' to paste records from a users clipboard into the selection. It is enabled by default for type='group' and shown below the element browser if the order has not been changed using the before and after keywords. It can be turned off by setting disabled to true, just like any other fieldControl.
