TYPO3 Core

Hey Devid,

yes. I can already imagine why this is the case. The issue is that the hide/unhide works, but as soon as you hit the save button, the form (POST data) is submitted and the value of the checkbox/toggle field is used, overriding the previous action.

Hey,
Yes probably. Another interesting behavior is,
that if the "Hidden" field does not have the "invertStateDisplay" set, the actions may be reversed. Depending on the initial value of the hidden field, when the hidden button in the icon bar is activated, the field in the form is deactivated. Thus the status of the two buttons is no longer syncron.

@Devid Messner
I had the same problem. Thanks for the tip.

I have done some research:

When the IRRE item is NOT expanded
the switch works as expected.

When the IRRE item is expanded and the hidden toggle is not shown in the expanded area
it is not possible to change the state of the expanded IRRE item

When the IRRE item is expanded and the hidden toggle is shown with renderType 'checkboxToggle' and invertStateDisplay = false
it is possible to use both toggles and everything works fine, but for the editor it is difficult, because the switch in the "Header-Bar" shows the inverted State of the switch in the "Content-Area" of the irre Item

When the IRRE item is expanded and the hidden toggle is shown with renderType 'checkboxToggle' and invertStateDisplay = true
The toggle in the expanded area works like expected.
The toggle in the "Header-Bar" does not work

I tried to find the bug and fix it, but ended up in some javascript, where my knowledge is not very high.

I think the problem is the click event on the toggle in the "Header-Bar", it does not recognize the invertedState of the button in the "Content-Area" and changes the value not correct then.

As an additional comment / temporary improvement:

I changed the TCA for the hidden field to "check" and "invertStateDisplay" = false. So the "hidden" input element looks like in older version, just a checkbox. This works.

$GLOBALS['TCA']['<TABLENAME>']['columns']['hidden']['config']['renderType'] = 'check';
$GLOBALS['TCA']['<TABLENAME>']['columns']['hidden']['config']['items'][0]['invertStateDisplay'] = false;

So it could be that there was no change in the javascript, it was just the change from "invertStateDisplay" false => true in TYPO3 11...

This fix will then most likely break again if a real fix is implemented. It should work, but most likely it will not.

I had the same problem with mask elements.
That workaround helped. Thanks.

Hello everyone,

we are facing the same problem in one of our customer projectes.
Is it already foreseeable when a solution will be available?

Kind regards!

Is work on the bug planned? Will there be a patch for it?

See it on sprint board https://forger.typo3.com/sprint/core/9

Still a problem in TYPO3 12 and TYPO3 13

I'm having the same issue on a customer project on TYPO3 11, hope there will be a solution soon!

I can confirm the problem exists in 11 LTS. Toggle the "hide" button within the inline elements header bar (inline element collapsed) does not work. Directly toggle the "hide" button within the expanded child content area works instead. In my case there is " 'invertStateDisplay' => true". Should be fixed soon!
