+=================================================================
+Breaking: #68092 - TCA: Remove wizard hideParent and _HIDDENFIELD
+=================================================================
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Wizards defined in ``TCA`` for display in ``FormEngine`` allowed to hide the "parent"
+field with the configuration options ``_HIDDENFIELD`` on main wizard level, and with
+the ``hideParent`` option for single wizards.
+
+Both options have been dropped.
+
+
+Impact
+======
+
+The configuration options have no effect anymore, the main field will show up.
+
+
+Affected Installations
+======================
+
+A search through the TER code showed not a single extension that used the above options.
+A 3rd party extension is affected if a ``TCA`` column configuration is used like:
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+	'aField' => array(
+		'config' => array(
+			...
+			'wizards' => array(
+				'_HIDDENFIELD' => TRUE,
+				'aWizard' => array(
+					'hideParent' => array(
+						...
+					),
+				),
+			),
+		),
+	),
+
+
+Migration
+=========
+
+Wizards can not trigger that a main field is not rendered anymore. If this kind of functionality
+is needed, it is recommended to register an own ``renderType`` in the ``NodeFactory`` for this
+type of field instead to route the element rendering to an own class.
