[TYPO3-core] RFC #11087: TCEForm does not replace the existing element if adding a new element to a field with maxitems=1

[Ernesto Baschny [cron IT]]

Hi Benni,

reviewed and tested: works => +1

I would say this is a "long standing gremlin". I wonder there is no bug 
# in the lower 100 range already reporting that, as this has always 
annoyed everybody. :)

Cheers,
Ernesto
