ok, but i don't understand completely how this works.
i copied $TCA['tt_content] to $TCA['tt_content']['mynewcontentelement']
but i don't know how to get TCEForms to use this set instead of
$TCA['tt_content']. I don't have/want this select field to change
layouts, because i only have one. What must be done to use
$TCA['tt_content']['mynewcontentelement'] as standard when selecting
"mynewcontentelement" as CType?
