TYPO3 Core

By default, a form showing only the field with the broken link is opened, if clicking the "pencil" button in the Link Validator report.

If checking sys_redirect.target as well, I noticed that opening the form this way is not helpful, because some context is missing: we see only the target, but not the source_path and the rest of the fields.

e.g. TSconfig:

mod.linkvalidator.searchFields.sys_redirect = target

In this particular case, the default behaviour is unhelpful.

Originally, the behaviour was that the entire record was edited. This, however also proved as unhelpful, because sometime the broken link was a bit hidden, or it was in a different tab.

Implementation options¶

1. (Idealistic) would be if the full record was opened, but the tab where the broken link is contained is opened by default, and if necessary there is scrolling so the field is in focus. Additionally, it might be helpful if this field (or all fields with broken links) would be marked visibly. (However, marking visibly should be different from what is currently used in case of evaluation).
2. (pragmatic) show both buttons but make it configurable, e.g.
