Description

When we set label_alt of a table to a field of type select then a PHP warning is raised:

Array to string conversion in typo3_src-12.4.15/typo3/sysext/backend/Classes/Utility/BackendUtility.php line 1543

This occurs since TYPO3 12.4.15, with older versions there doesn't seem to be a problem. I did the tests with PHP 8.2. I don't know if different PHP versions make any difference.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Add the following code in some EXT:xxxx/Configuration/TCA/Overrides/tt_content.php
    $GLOBALS['TCA']['tt_content']['ctrl']['label_alt'] = 'header_layout';
    

    Instead of header_layout you can use any field of type select to trigger the problem.
  • Clear the cache
  • Edit any existing content element
  • The warning should be triggered.

The warning is not triggered when creating a new record. If you create a new record you need to close the edit form and edit the record again.
Maybe the problem also occurs for other field types, I only tested select fields with renderType = 'selectSingle'

I can confirm this issue with a nested inline field.
