Description
Using the following typoscript constants
test {
a = Hi
b = {$test.a} everybody
}
with the following typoscript setup
page.1 = TEXT
page.1.value = {$test.b}!
produced until TYPO3 v11 the following output:
Hi everybody!
With TYPO3 v12.1 the substitution from a constant used in a constant doesn't work any more and as a result the following will be rendered:
{$test.a} everybody!

I'm afraid v12 does not support constants in constants. This has been documented as breaking:
Recursive constants were possible with the old parser but are not supported with the new parser anymore. This was never documented, the Backend Template module never showed them as resolved, only the Frontend parsed recursive constants. The simple rule is now: Never access a constant within another constant. Instances using a construct like the below one need to untie constants.
constants:
foo = fooValue
# This does not resolve to "fooValue" but is kept as string literal "{$foo}"
bar = {$foo}

It might be possible to scan for this in my upcoming syntax checker, though. the "template analyzer / Include tree" will then show such violations.

Ok, where would you kick in to solve that? we have tons of projects using that functionality and this will cause have hefti migration problems.
