TYPO3 Core

Situation¶

• 2 languages
• Gridelements

Steps¶

• Create an empty page
• Create a grid element container (eg with only 1 column) in default language
• Add 2 CEs to this grid container
• Translate the page (alt lang record)
• Translate the gridelement

The translation is correct at this stage. Continue with:

• Create a third CE inside the grid element in default language
• Open the grid element in the translation and use the "Synchronize" button in the IRRE field for the CEs

Result¶

The expected result would be to have all three CEs in the same order in both languages.
The actual result is that the newly translated CE has a rather arbitrary position (sorting value)

Solution / Cause¶

I did not investigate whether this issue stems from gridelements or from Core, but I presume this is a Core issue. (v8.7.4)
(This issue has also been seen on Core v7.)

At first point a solution for v8 would be appreciated.

Consequences of the issue¶

A BE user (not even admin) has a useful possibility to rearrange wrongly positioned elements.
This needs a manual fix in database (sorting column).

I found no feasible workaround for this issue for normal editors.
