set to a TEXT
column type. In the Backend, it is rendered in various shapes: It can be rendered as
a simple <textarea>
, as a Rich Text Editor, as a code block with syntax highlighting, and others.
The following renderTypes are available:

belayoutwizard: The backend layout wizard is displayed in order to edit records of table
backend_layout
in the backend.t3editor: The

is loaded, otherwise falls back to "default" renderType.textTable: The
renderType = 'textTable'
