[TYPO3-english] Flexform + DAM image

[Peter Kuehn [wmdb]]

Hi Gregory,

im sorry: atm its not advisable to use the DAM MM-relational field 
inside of a flexform. :(

This is due to http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=10165 that you can 
easily reproduce:
copy and paste some of your records. the resulting records will have 
lost their relations to DAM. Instead of the original there will be just 
one relation: to dam record with uid 1 if there were one image before, 
to uid 2 if there were two and so on.
This will happen as well if you localise or versionize a record.

The bug has a patch and is pending in the core list.

For the time being, please use a custom field with a standard array TCA 
definition.

I hope you did not spend too much time on this one
cheers
