Renaming fields from sys_file_metadata doesn't work
0%
Description
I'd like to rename fields like sys_file_metadata.title and sys_file_metadata.alternative in the backend (filelist module), so that my editors get a better understanding of the field's purpose.
This usually works quite well with the pageTS setting
TCEFORM.sys_file_reference.title.label = Titel (für Quelle)(For file references in content elements, in this case).
But
TCEFORM.sys_file_metadata.title.label = Titel (für Quelle)doesn't seem to have any effect.
It did work after I put
$TCA['sys_file_metadata']['columns']['title']['label'] = 'Titel (für Quelle)';in /typo3conf/extTables.php.
Still, is this intended?

Hello, in my opinion this is not a bug.
File references have a pid field which is set to the page where the related record (tt_content, news, something else) is located. Using pageTS on Your website root, You can change and override the settings in the references.
But file metadata is stored on pid=0, this means on the TYPO3 root page. You cannot get there using pageTS on pages, as this is always at least one level down.
You can only use file typo3conf/extTables.php here (what You already found out) or create an extension and use "\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addPageTSConfig()" in the ext_localconf.php of Your extension.

Same requirement here.
Ok André, youre right. It's not a bug, it´s a new feature.
Is it an idea, to create a field TsConfig in file reference like "fileTsconfig". And there you can place several code to operate formatting of filelist with tsconfig.

this won't be implemented yet because just like andré said the file metadata is stored on pid=0, and pageTS configurations are not meant to modify these global settings.
