In the confguration you see the problem, the hreflang field is empty for english language, so no hreflang tags are generated because only 1 language in with a hreflang field.

The problem behind this is, the missing hreflang entry is shown with a correctly filled placeholder value 'en-US' in the backend of the site configuration. So the configuration error is very hard to spot using only the typo3 backend.

My expectation would be, that if there is a placeholder value, this placeholder value would be used if the field is empty.

What i dont know is if this behaviour still exists on the current version.

the placeholder is just a placeholder, not a fallback.

we are discussing what would be the best way: either making the field required or also doing some checks and place the result in reports or site module
