Attention

TYPO3 v8 has reached its end-of-life March 31st, 2020 and is not maintained by the community anymore. Looking for a stable version? Use the version switch on the top left.

There is no further ELTS support. It is recommended that you upgrade your project and use a supported version of TYPO3.

type = 'passthrough'

Introduction

This type can be saved/updated through DataHandler but the value is not evaluated in any way and the field has no rendering in FormEngine.

You can use this to send values directly to the database fields without any automatic evaluation. But still the update gets logged and the history/undo function will work with such values.

Since there is no rendering mode for this field type it is specifically fitted for direct API usage with the DataHandler.

Examples

This field is found in a number of tables, for instance the "pages" table. It is used by the system extension "impexp" to store some information.

'tx_impexp_origuid' => [
    'config' => [
        'type' => 'passthrough'
    ],
],
