Issue description

https://community.contao.org/de/showthread.php?71581-Header-im-parentView

Steps to reproduce

1. create standalone MM (mm_parent)
2. create child MM (mm_child)
3. go to edit-mask of mm_child

Describe the behaviour of the application

There seems to be no configuration options for headerFields it just display's "Änderungsdatum" (tstamp) which is not even an explicit attribute of mm_parent.

Describe the expected behaviour of the application

There should either be a config option (not shure if attributes, input-mask or rendersettings is the right place) or the headerFields should be determined by convention (like allways use id, title, name, headline, tstamp... if present)

Screenshots

I would not display anything else at this point - it would be important to display the breadcrumb in the header area! https://github.com/MetaModels/core/issues/586

maybe something like this would be great https://github.com/MetaModels/core/issues/178

and that the icon pen leads to the input mask of the parent MMs

During the discussion we agreed that it does not need the additional information in the header.

However, we are examining the implementation of a clickable breadcrumb.

@stefanheimes pls check your POC

Just wanted to mention that before i updated (it was alpha17 i guess) i did have propper headerfields.

You can build an own event listener with BuildDataDefinitionEvent https://github.com/contao-community-alliance/dc-general/blob/master/src/ContaoCommunityAlliance/DcGeneral/Factory/Event/BuildDataDefinitionEvent.php and add your properties

...
$backendView = $container->getDefinition(Contao2BackendViewDefinitionInterface::NAME);

$listingConfig = $backendView->getListingConfig();

$listingConfig->setHeaderPropertyNames(['tstamp', 'name', 'description']);

Edit...

better Event: GetParentHeaderEvent https://github.com/contao-community-alliance/dc-general/blob/d7a265e203f29d9637c20681696b4554cc288829/src/ContaoCommunityAlliance/DcGeneral/Contao/View/Contao2BackendView/Event/GetParentHeaderEvent.php

(thx @baumannsven)

@zonky2 We should split the breadcrumb issue into a separate feature request for 2.2 and assign to @stefanheimes.
