EXT:record_wizard

What Does the Extension Do?

The TYPO3 page creation wizard guides editors through the creation process step by step. EXT:record_wizard brings exactly this UX pattern into the backend list module — for any table and record type.

Instead of seeing an empty form with all fields at once, editors are guided through configurable steps.

Installation

composer require georgringer/record-wizard

After installation, add the desired tables under Admin Tools → Settings → Extension Configuration:

wizardTables = tx_news_domain_model_news

Multiple tables are separated by commas.

Configuration via TCA

The wizard steps are defined directly in the TCA of the respective type:

'types' => [
    '0' => [
        'wizardSteps' => [
            'basics' => [
                'title' => 'Basic Information',
                'fields' => ['title', 'slug', 'date'],
            ],
            'details' => [
                'title' => 'Details',
                'fields' => ['description', 'bodytext'],
                'after' => ['basics'],
            ],
        ],
        'showitem' => '...',
    ],
],

Each step requires:

• title — step label (LLL references are supported)
• fields — TCA columns shown on this step
• after (optional) — ordering between steps
