Breaking: The job validation settings reach the backend 

Description 

The flags of Configuration/AcademicJobs/Settings.yaml apply to the backend record editor of a job now, not only to the new job form: a required field is required there, readonly and disabled make a field read only, and email and number set the type of the field.

A listener of \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Configuration\Event\AfterTcaCompilationEvent with the identifier academic-jobs/apply-settings-to-tca applies them, after every Configuration/TCA/Overrides file. For each configured field it sets whether the field is required and read only, also when the settings say no.

Impact 

With the shipped settings, the company name and the description of a job are required in the backend record editor. A job without one of them can only be saved there once it is filled in. Jobs created through the new job form have both, since the form required them already.

A copy of the old settings can lose phone numbers. The manual of 2.x asked for a copy of the whole validations block, and that block marked the contact phone with number . A copy that still does turns contact_phone into a number field in the backend, and saving a job there stores +49 30 123 as 49. The settings files are merged per field now, so the shipped tel does not reach a copy that names the field.

A TCA override of a site package that sets required or readOnly on a field the settings configure no longer takes effect. A field the settings list with url alone, the link for example, is not required in the backend, whatever the override says.

Affected installations 

Installations whose site package ships Configuration/AcademicJobs/Settings.yaml with number on contactPhone , installations with job records that lack a company name or a description, and installations that change required or readOnly of a configured job field in their TCA overrides.

Migration 

Before the update, replace number with tel on contactPhone in the settings file of the site package, or remove the field from it so the shipped flags apply:

validations:
  job:
    contactPhone:
      - tel

Fill in the missing values when an editor next saves such a record, or make the fields optional in the settings of the site package:

validations:
  job:
    companyName: []
    description: []

Move a TCA override of required or readOnly into the settings file. When the backend has to differ from the form, register a listener of AfterTcaCompilationEvent ordered after academic-jobs/apply-settings-to-tca, see the validation settings.
