[TYPO3-dam] List > Process does not respect TCA options

[Jan Wulff]

Shouldn't it be at least possible, to import the most common options from 
TCA (like 'required', 'trim', 'size' and so on) and use them with whatever 
methods the process submodule uses? Also I've noticed that the indexing 
submodule does not use the common TCEForms warning messages, but the 
TCA option 'size' does work anyhow.

Kind Regards
Jan
