type

string (list of field names)

Scope

Proc.

When a new element is created in a draft workspace, a placeholder element is created in the Live workspace. Some values must be stored in this placeholder and not just in the overlay record. A typical example would be sys_language_uid. This property defines the list of fields whose values are "shadowed" to the Live record.

All fields listed for this option must be defined in $GLOBALS['TCA'][<table>]['columns'] as well.

Furthermore fields which are listed in transOrigPointerField, languageField, label and type are automatically added to this list of fields and do not have to be mentioned again here.

Examples:

Example from "sys_filemounts" table:

'ctrl' => [
   'shadowColumnsForNewPlaceholders' => 'sys_language_uid,l18n_parent,colPos',
   ...
],
