TYPO3 Core

It would help to enable "exclude" for sys_filemetadata.fileinfo:

'fileinfo' => [
            'exclude' => true,
            'config' => [
                'type' => 'user',
                'renderType' => 'fileInfo',
            ]
        ],

The extension l10nmgr probably should not just SELECT all fields from TCA. But fileinfo is of type "user" which should have a DB field. At least it says so in the TCA docs:

Unlike none, type user must have a database field.

Hi,

we have the same backend-error-message "unknown column 'fileinfo' in 'field list" with TYPO3 9.5.21. It occurs whenever someone wants to save metadata of files, but only for non-admins and if localizationteam/l10nmgr is activated (in our case). But I think it's a potential problem for other extensions, too, as l10nmgr has no definitions for the field "fileinfo".

Note: Whilst the error is confusing for our editors, the save-operation nevertheless works.

Our workaround in EXT:extensionname/Configuration/TCA/Overrides/sys_file_metadata.php:

$GLOBALS['TCA']['sys_file_metadata']['columns']['fileinfo']['exclude'] = true;
$GLOBALS['TCA']['sys_file']['columns']['fileinfo']['exclude'] = true;

A core fix is preferred of course. ;)

Added issue for l10nmgr: https://gitlab.com/coderscare/l10nmgr/-/issues/34

Fixed in L10nmgr master by introducing a check for the DB schema, still the core should provide database fields in this case or at least change the docs which would consider a DB field for "user" types mandatory.

Patch set 1 for branch 10.4 of project Packages/TYPO3.CMS has been pushed to the review server.
It is available at https://review.typo3.org/c/Packages/TYPO3.CMS/+/66572

I noticed the same error in 9.5.23.

Will there be a fix for TYPO3 9.5?

What error did you notice? The error I described was in combination with l10nmgr. This has been fixed in the extension, see https://gitlab.com/coderscare/l10nmgr/-/issues/34

In the comments here you can also find some other workarounds if the problem still affects your site.

The patch https://review.typo3.org/c/Packages/TYPO3.CMS/+/66572 has not been backported to 9.5, as far as I know.
