Feature #31303
closedInsert Records: Ability to override header of source record
0%
Description
When inserting a record, it will pick up the header from the original article.
That doesn't fit the needs in many cases, as the context for the inserted article is a different one, and a modification in the header may be needed for clarification.
The original header should be overridden by the Field currently labelled as "name" (if not empty).
An example:
Page 1:
<h1>London branch</h1>
<h2>Our partners</h2>
McKenzie
McBuffet
Page 2:
<h1>Berlin branch</h1>
<h2>Our partners</h2>
Hermann & Söhne
August & Co
Page 3:
<h1>Our global partners</h1>
<h2>Our partners</h2>
McKenzie
McBuffet
<h2>Our partners</h2>
Hermann & Söhne
August & Co
-> The h2s on Page 3 should be overrideable with a custom text to state the context:
Page 3:
<h1>Our global partners</h1>
<h2>London</h2>
McKenzie
McBuffet
<h2>Berlin</h2>
Hermann & Söhne
August & Co
One client of mine has for years been structuring his content in an odd way to escape this: he splits an article into a header and a content part, so he can later on reference only the content and place a different header before. Which leads to 3 content elements and a shortcut instead of 1 and a shortcut.

If this would be done 1:1 as I suggested it back then, it would be a very breaking change, I realize.
The "name" field shouldn't be used, rather an additional title field that comes into play when used. That would be quite nice.

Hey Urs,
I am now closing this issue. To be honest: I understood the idea, but this seems very edge-casy and - in the past 10 years - nobody stepped up to pick this job. This - to me - seems to be a custom Content Type in an extension building such a logic with the headlines... this way, it can be put on extensions.typo3.org, and can be maintained separately.
I hope that's OK for you. Sorry that it took so long to get a proper answer from me! Very sorry about this!
All the best,
Benni.
