Link.editRecord ViewHelper <be:link.editRecord> 

New in version 14.0

Argument module has been added to explicitly define the backend module context used when opening the FormEngine to edit or create a record.

Use this ViewHelper to provide edit links to records. The ViewHelper will pass the uid and table to FormEngine.

The uid must be given as a positive integer. For new records, use the <be:link.newRecordViewHelper>.

Examples 

Link to the record-edit action passed to FormEngine:

<be:link.editRecord uid="42" table="a_table" returnUrl="foo/bar" />
Copied!

Output:

<a href="/typo3/record/edit?edit[a_table][42]=edit&returnUrl=foo/bar">
    Edit record
</a>
Copied!

Link to edit page uid=3 and then return back to the BE module "web_MyextensionList":

<be:link.editRecord uid="3" table="pages" returnUrl="{f:be.uri(route: 'web_MyextensionList')}">
Copied!

Link to edit only the fields title and subtitle of page uid=42 and return to foo/bar:

<be:link.editRecord uid="42" table="pages" fields="title,subtitle" returnUrl="foo/bar">
    Edit record
</be:link.editRecord>
Copied!

Output:

<a href="/typo3/record/edit?edit[pages][42]=edit&returnUrl=foo/bar&columnsOnly[pages]=title,subtitle">
    Edit record
</a>
Copied!
