Description

When using a flexform in a flexform there are several errors, it's not possible.

nested flexform (simple):
  • yellow exclamation sign is shown (but there are no required fields)
  • save throws errors
nested flexform in section:
  • tabs are not unique, second section element doesn't render flexform, tabs are the same as in first element

I attached a test-extension to show the mentioned problems.

(issue imported from #M11307)

The issue is very old, does this issue exists in newer versions of TYPO3 CMS (4.5 or 6.1)?

Updated by Gabriel Kaufmann / Typoworx NewMedia over 9 years ago

I just stumbled over such issue again in TYPO3 6.2

It is possible to setup and view nested FlexForms (Flexform-Field of type "flex" with sub-flexform file defined).

It is correctly viewed but saving isn't possible yet either!

I would expect, that the flexform-field containing a field of type "flex" will return it's saveable FlexForm-Data into the structure of the parent-flexform (under the field-name beloging to the nested flexform).

This still does not work - but sometimes makes sense in order to have a clean view of more complex configuration structures!

Just a simple example which shows making sense of it:

We have a Plugin that should also contain a contact-form component. The contact-form settings are setup in a separate "tab" in FlexForm sheet "Contact Form".

Under contact-form we need the admin-mail setup (admin.recipientMail, admin.senderMail, admin.mailSubject).

We need the same setup for the contact-person (just in this case without recipientMail as it is dynamically filled in by front-end form plugin).

This case it would end up in this structure (simplified shown):

[ Plugin Flexform ]
-- f.e. Common config

-- Contact Form
---- Admin Mail
-------| FlexForm file for "Admin" |
---------- field: admin.recipientMail
---------- field: admin.senderMail
---------- field: admin.mailSubject

---- Customer Mail
-------| FlexForm file for "Customer" |
---------- field: customer.senderMail
---------- field: customer.mailSubject

I think this feature makes sense and was asked for a lot of times by other users!
