TYPO3 Core

Updated, due to comments in review.

To make it easy to choose from existing renderTypes and understand TCA, it is helpful if the naming is intuitive.

For select, we currently have:

• selectSingle
• selectSingleBox
• selectCheckBox
• selectMultipleSideBySide
• selectTree

Proposal 1¶

Original proposal: rename renderType='selectSingleBox' to 'selectMultipleBox'. See comments in review: https://review.typo3.org/c/Packages/TYPO3.CMS/+/69811

It seems the "single" does not refer to the number of items selected, but to the number of elements (boxes).

Proposal 2¶

Perhaps the documentation can be updated, to make the naming scheme more clear.

See list: https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-tca/master/en-us/ColumnsConfig/Type/Select/Index.html#columns-select

see selectSingleBox:

Renders a select field to select multiple entries from a given list.
The name is misleading. This is a renderType which allows you to select multiple elements!
