[TYPO3] titleText and altText required

[Graham Solomon]

We have done the same thing on our website. 

Can anyone explain to me though why it is not possible to have a textarea as
a mandatory field in the BE? Its frustrating because forcing the alt/title
text to input means you will always have the same alt/title text for each
image in that element, whereas with a textarea you can have each line
relate to a different image.


Thanks,
Graham
