I would use Flexforms from the point on where you have to extend tt_content with more than
2-3 fields.

For a single field I would choose "Extend Existing Tables" in the kickstarter and extend tt_content
with the needed "mode" field.

Then Assign the field to the FE-Plugin which should have the fields available by clicking on the
FE plugin in the kickstarter and choosing "apply tt_content fields" (or so) from the new select-box which
is there after having extended tt_content.


Then you will have the new field when inserting the plugin.

 From you extension you can access the field via:

$fieldval = $this->cObj->data['tx_myext_mode'];
