TCA: selection cannot be removed when size=1, minitems=0, maxitems=1
0%
Description
A TCA select field with size=1, minitems=0 and maxitems=1 always has a selection.
It is not possible to remove it.
As soon as size=2, you get a "x" delete button that allows you to remove the selected item.

That's wrong. As soon as you set maxitems > 1 you get a "delete" button.

How do you suggest how this should work in the browser? Should there be an empty option for the select?
Updated by Christian Weiske almost 10 years ago
Since it's not possible to have a size=1-select that has no selected option, there are only two options:
1. Make the select size 2 automatically, which allows us to remove the item
2. Automatically add a "no option selected" option that gets special treatment on saving.
Variant 2 is probably the more sensible approach. A "x" button next to the select box could add that option so that it's not visible from the start.

This is going to get a missing feature.
Unfortunately I'm not a specialist on FormEngine, so now clue how to implement that.
I guess it also involves quite some JS magic.

This is fixed in TYPO3 7.6.10.
The style is broken (screenshot) because of the min-height of the dropdown, but functionality works.
