Textarea 

Default value set if a new record is created.

Placeholder text for the field. Can also be used as automatic language key in labels.xlf. See here for more information.

Abstract value for the height of the <textarea> field. Max value is 20.

If set, the field will become mandatory.

If set to false, the field will not be considered in backend search.

If set to true, the system renders a Rich Text Editor if that is enabled for the editor (default: yes), and if a suitable editor extension is loaded (default: rte_ckeditor).

If either of these requirements is not met, the system falls back to a <textarea> field.

The value is a key in $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['RTE']['Presets'] array and specifies the YAML configuration source field used for that RTE field. It does not make sense without having property enableRichtext set to true.

Extension rte_ckeditor registers three presets: default, minimal and full and points to YAML files with configuration details.

Integrators may override for instance the default key to point to an own YAML file which will affect all core backend RTE instances to use that configuration.

If this property is not specified for an RTE field, the system will fall back to the default configuration.

Allows to select if localization uses custom or default language value.

Abstract width of the textarea field. Minimum 10, maximum 50.

Allows the use of tab characters inside the textarea.

Configuration of field evaluation. For example trim to strip whitespace from the value before saving.

See TCA fieldControl.

See TCA fieldInformation.

See TCA fieldWizard.

Renders the textarea with a fixed-width (monospace) font.

Evaluates whether the entered text contains only characters from this string.

Maximum number of characters allowed.

Minimum number of characters required. Empty values are still allowed; combine with required to enforce a non-empty value.

Allows the database field to store a NULL value.

Renders the field in a way that the user can see the value but cannot edit it.

Selects an alternative rendering for the textarea. Possible values:

• codeEditor
• textTable
• belayoutwizard

Renders a select box next to the field from which predefined values can be inserted. Requires an items array of objects with label and value keys.

Example:

valuePicker:
  items:
    - label: 'Job offer general'
      value: 'Want to join our team? Take the initiative!'
    - label: 'Job offer specific'
      value: 'We are looking for ...'

Wrapping mode of the textarea. Possible values:

• virtual
• off
