[TYPO3-core] RFC #16426 Bugfix: Link field for images is too short to provide links for every image

[Steffen Gebert]

Hi,

You can tell them whatever they want.. they will forget. I would never 
expect to hit enter after entering one single link.

> Since there was no multiline textarea before for any kind of link field,

> behaviour anyway.
But then this multiline textarea works slightly different than the other 
ones (in the situation when one link containing a , is entered).

But existing data have to be converted, if no finding-the-delimiter 
magic is implemented.

Thanks!

I'm -1 for the alternative magic version

Nevertheless, thanks for working on this!

Kind regards
