Output of the title of the backend layout instead of the id #707

Describe the bug In all docs it is descirbed and it would be expected that the name of the backend layout is used for the api, but the id is submitted

To Reproduce Setup a backend layout and check the api default is submitted as: -1

Expected behavior title: string

TYPO3 version and TYPO3 Headless version TYPO3 12 - headless latest

Yeah, I confirm this behavior. But it is not ext:headless bug per se, but inconsistent values from core, if you set layout via tsconfig files, you will get nice name (if you set one), but if you add record you will receive ID of record to handle on your side (in fluid context).

@lukaszuznanski we have 2 options to match core behavior or add consistent approach in headless.

Thanks for the reply: In my sitepackage I loop the title through a locallang-file: title= LLL:EXT:xzzxpackage/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_be.xlf:backendLayout.2_column.title

That is then no more working in the headless context.

Having the backend layouts in a folder in the page tree, as a record, is probably also not a good place since they should not be changed by any editor and should be clearly out of their reach.

So I assume, best practice is:

a. design the backend layouts in the backend b. copy the code to your sitepackage (Configuration/BackendLayouts/my-backend-layout.tsconfig) import them inside a Configuration/page.tsconfig file https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-tsconfig/main/en-us/UsingSetting/PageTSconfig.html#setting-page-tsconfig c. change the title to a unique name for all languages d. use this title in the Nuxt app e. if you change the title you have to change it on both sides, TYPO3 and Nuxt

@daUhradone what exactly is not working? Because from what I checked everything is working as expected (we match core behavior), only if you are using backend layouts as records instead of files (files in my opinion are much better solution) you have add extra step (prepare custom Typoscript) to match records to layouts same way you are doing in fluid context.
