TYPO3 - Extension TCA - Show backend fields

Question

I'm deveopping my own Typo3 extension and it's not as easy as expected :) When i create an object in the backend it's working :

But I can't find a way to display the following commands :

move up
move down
enable/disabled

Here is what I tried to show the "enable/disable" icon :

$TCA['tx_productsfaq_domain_model_scenario'] = array (
    'ctrl' => array (
        'enablecolumns' => [
            'disabled' => 'hidden'
        ]
    )
);

.. with no success. In my database the model has a "hidden" column (tinyint). Maybe I forgot something ? All other properties in my TCA work fine.

You need a sorting field in your Database

CREATE table tx_productsfaq_domain_model_scenario (
    ...
    sorting int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
    deleted tinyint(4) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
    hidden tinyint(4) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
    ...
);

and TCA configuration like

$TCA['tx_productsfaq_domain_model_scenario'] = array (
    'ctrl' => [
        ...
        'sortby' => 'sorting',
        'enablecolumns' => [
            'disabled' => 'hidden'
        ],
        ...
    ]
);

It seems you are using the old way to configure your TCA. Please see https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TCAReference/Introduction/Index.html

Use EXT:productsfaq/Configuration/TCA/tx_productsfaq_domain_model_scenario.php

return [
    'ctrl' => [
        ...
        'sortby' => 'sorting',
        'delete' => 'deleted',
        'enablecolumns' => [
            'disabled' => 'hidden',
        ],
        ...
    ],
    'interface' => [
        'showRecordFieldList' => 'hidden, ...'
    ],
    'types' => [
        '0' => ['showitem' => 'hidden, ...']
    ],
    'columns' => [
        ...
    ]
];
