[Feature Request] "invisible/disabled"-Flag for Connector General TCA configuration

[bh-teufels]

It would be helpful for my needs if I could prepare the general TCA configuration for imports through a custom extension but set it to invisible/disabled, and then activate it via TCA in the site package when needed.

Currently, I always have to set the entire general TCA configuration for each site package

I don't really understand your need. How would that activation work?

What about wrapping the configuration in some method and calling it, like \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::getFileFieldTCAConfig for media field did up to TYPO3 11?

in my case I have my own extension which I fill by import but there are different sources for the data so I want to prepare the import configuration in the extension (as 2 import configurations for source a and b) and for each project in the site package only do something like $GLOBALS['TCA']['myDbModel']['external']['general']['myConfigurationForA']['enable'] = true so that the unnecessary configuration for source B does not appear in the BE in the import module

but thanks for the tip about wrapping the configuration in some method and calling it, like \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::getFileFieldTCAConfiglike\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::getFileFieldTCAConfig that could

Thanks for the details. I had a similar setup recently, so it could be an interesting feature to add in the future. I hadn't thought about a simple "disable" flag as you suggest, which would be easy to implement.
