============================================

Deprecation: #80000 - InlineOverrideChildTca

============================================

See :issue:80000

Description

===========

These :php:TCA :php:type=inline properties have been deprecated and superseded with the more

general property :php:overrideChildTca:

• foreign_types

• foreign_selector_fieldTcaOverride

• foreign_record_defaults

Impact

======

It is now possible to override display (FormEngine) related columns properties and the types section of

child :php:TCA from within the parent :php:TCA. This is also allowed in a

parents :php:['types']['columnsOverrides'] section.

Affected Installations

======================

Instances using one of the above inline properties should adapt to the new :php:overrideChildTca property.

Migration

=========

A :php:TCA auto-migration is in place. It will transfer the old settings to the new property as

shown below and logs deprecation entries if there is no :php:overrideChildTca defined. This allows extension

authors to keep both the old and the new settings to support CMS v7 and v8 at the same time without

having deprecations logged.
