[TYPO3-mvc] Select and foreign_field

Hi Yann,

>                  'foreign_table' =>  'tx_ext_domain_model_child',
>                  'foreign_table_where' =>  'AND

TCA type 'select' doesn't support 'foreign_field' - so this won't work 
in the BE. You could try switching it to IRRE and try using 
foreign_selector. For documentation see [1].
