foreign_table
Type:string (table name)
Scope:Proc. / Display
RenderType:all

The item-array will be filled with records from the table defined here. The table must have a TCA definition.

The uids of the chosen records will be saved in a comma separated list by default.

Use property MM <columns-select-properties-mm> to store the values in an intermediate MM table instead.

Deprecated since version 11.2: Usage of the foreign_table relation with the table sys_language Has been deprecated. Use TCA field type called language instead.
