TCA misconfiguration: a field name that does not exist
======================================================

::

   TCA misconfiguration in table
   "the_table_name" field "the_field_name" config section: ds_pointerField
   "the_field_name_type" points to a field name that does not exist.

This happens in the TCE for a field which is configured by a
'ds_pointerField'. You must also add a TCA column for the corresponding
type field :php:`the_field_name_type`.

            'type' => 'select',
