TYPO3 Core

Sometimes showing the "Add new media asset" in the file tab of the link browser makes no sense, for example when the user should select only a specific file type in a flexform.

If you use type="input", renderType="inputLink" it is not possible to deactivate this AFAIK.

This used to be / is possible with type="inline".

In config/appearance (TCA):

fileByUrlAllowed = false now hides the button "Add media by URL".

• see also https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-tca/11.5/en-us/ColumnsConfig/Type/Inline/Properties/Appearance.html

appearance.fileByUrlAllowed is not possible in type="input" / renderType=inputLink - has no effect.
