Feature: "Show hidden records" plugin option for the program list 

Description 

A new boolean plugin option Show hidden records ( settings.showHiddenRecords, checkbox/toggle, default off) was added to the following plugin:

• Program List ( academicprograms_programlist)

When the option is enabled, the frontend program listing includes hidden (disabled) records, independent of the Context API visibility settings. Only the hidden enable column (disabled) is ignored; the deleted, starttime/endtime and fe_group restrictions stay in effect.

The option is core-version-aware and available in both the TYPO3 v12 and v13 flexform data structures of the plugin.

Impact 

Editors can now opt in per plugin instance to display hidden programs in the frontend, for example to preview intentionally hidden records without changing the global preview settings. The option is off by default, so existing plugin instances keep their current behaviour.

Affected Installations 

All installations using the EXT:academic_programs extension starting with version 2.4. No action is required for existing installations.
