Permission issue when viewing formlog entries

[PLACEBOBRO]

In TYPO3 13 if you give a user (which is no admin) permission to the formlog module + read/write for the formlog entry table, the user gets an error message for insufficient permissions, if he wants to open one of the formlog entries in the formlog module.

Error message:

The editing form could not be loaded
The editing form could not be loaded for the requested records. This may be due to insufficient permissions.

Steps to reproduce:

1. add user with permissions for the current page-tree and formlog permissions
2. navigate to the formlog module and click on the show-button for one entry
3. the error message shows up

The problem is, that the formlog entries are saved on root level and not (like before) on the page itself, where the form is located.
Therefore you have to give the user access to root level, which you may not want in every case.

Versions:
TYPO3 13.4.9
Formlog 2.4.3

Thanks for the report, the issue can also be seen in TYPO3v12:

We'll check how to solve this.

Notice that this is a regression since #235

Hi @mbrodala @PLACEBOBRO , unfortunately, I have the same problem. Are there any workarounds or similar solutions in the latest version that would allow editors to view the data again?

[mbrodala]

Unfortunately this cannot be fixed easily for editors. We use the regular BE form engine for displaying the details which strictly adhere to BE user permissions.

AFAIS a possible fix would be replacing the form engine with a dedicated detail view. Not sure I'll get around to prepare this soon though.

thanks for clarifying that :)
