Label of existing DB field is not overridden

[marcoseiler]

If I use an already existing DB field in mask, the label of this field can be overridden.
In the exported extension, the field is displayed with it's default label instead.

Unfortunately this is not as trivial as it may sound. Currently it's a known missing feature but for me it was more important to generate a locallang file instead of the fixed labels, mask provides.

The locallang reference to a new label can be set in the showitem string directly after the field name, separated by a semicolon. But maybe the difficulties are in another area.

The export reuses the TCA generated by mask. If it is not provided there, it is currently a bigger task. But you can of course edit the export afterwards and adjust it to your needs.

As far as I remember mask generates the labels via TypoScript for each CType. As I said, mask is not able to use labels with multi language support and that was more important for the export than having different labels ;-)

I don't know if putting the alternative labels from the mask.json to the locallang file is a big task. If not, it would be nice to have them there already in place.

Hi @IchHabRecht . Since EXT:mask got a lot of updates since 2016, is this topic still as complex as you mentioned it at that time?
