[TYPO3-workspace] Rendering TCA select field in renderMode tree using workspace overlays

[Rens Admiraal]

Hi all,

I've a problem with a TCA configuration for a workspace enabled table. I want
to render a tree using renderMode tree in the TCA configuration, and I only
want to select records in a certain page, so, the configuration of the field
looks something like:

'tag' => array (
	'exclude' => 1,
	'label' => 'Tag',
	'config' => array (
		'type' => 'select',
		'internal_type' => 'db',
		'size' => 20,
		'minitems' => 0,
		'maxitems' => 999,
		'foreign_table' => 'tags',
		'foreign_table_where' => ' AND tags.pid = 1 ORDER BY tags.title ASC',
		'renderMode' => 'tree',
		'treeConfig' => array(
			'parentField' => 'tag',
			'appearance' => array(
				'expandAll' => TRUE,
				'showHeader' => TRUE,
				'maxLevels' => 999,
			)
		)
	)
)

But of course this is causing problems if I create a record in a workspace.
This causes the select field to find records with pid -1, which are now all
shown on the first level of the tree. As soon as I publish the record to the
live workspace it's on the right spot.

My question(s):
1) Did I misconfigure something in my TCA configuration?
2) Is the select field / renderMode tree even designed to show an overlayed
   list?
