Hi @tlueder,

Would you mind to share an example configuration and use case where the problem is triggered? Thank you very much.

tt_content.CE_Button =< lib.contentElement
tt_content.CE_Button {
  templateName = CE_Button
  dataProcessing {

    5 {
      fieldName = pi_flexform

    }
    10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\FilesProcessor
    10.references {
      fieldName = assets
    }
  }
}

This should be enough I hope.

Just create a new element of this type and save.
I have not tested this when typo3 is in production mode.

Thanks

Hi @tlueder,

If I understand your code correctly, you are using a content element that doesn't contain the colPos field at all. How can you add this field to any other column than the default one? I don't expect any content element to hide this field at all as this might break even core functions to be honest.

[tlueder]

I know,
but that is something the Typo3 Core should deal with.

Or if this field is also mandatory for this ext, this error should be handled other than in this way.

[IchHabRecht]

@tlueder fine with your comment. Should be handled core wise. So there is no error in content_defender itself.
