 bitmask\_value\_field
 =====================
 
-.. confval:: bitmask_value_field

-   :type: string (field name)
-
-
-   Field name, which holds a value being the integer (bit-mask) for the 'bitmask\_excludelist\_bits' array.
-
-   It works much like 'subtype\_value\_field' but excludes fields based on whether a bit from the value field is set.
-   See property :ref:`bitmask\_excludelist\_bits <types-properties-bitmask-excludelist-bits>`.
-
-   These two properties are rarely used, but pretty powerful if a 'type=radio' or 'type=check' field
-   is set as bitmask\_value\_field.
-
-   [+/-] indicates whether the bit [bit-number] is set or not.

-Example
-=======
-
-.. code-block:: php
-
-   'types' => [
-      'aType' => [
-         'showitem' => 'aField, anotherField, yetAnotherField',
-         'bitmask_value_field' => 'theSubtypeValueField',
-         'bitmask_excludelist_bits' => [
-            '-1' => 'anotherField', // Remove if bit 1 is NOT set
-            '+2' => 'yetAnotherField', // Remove if bit 2 is set
-         ],
-      ],
-   ],
+..  versionchanged:: 13.0
+    This setting has been removed, it is not considered anymore when rendering
+    records in the backend record editing interface.
 
-With the above configuration, if field database "theSubtypeValueField" is set to value 5 (binary representation
-"1 0 1"), the fields "anotherField" (-1 = 0 at bit position 1) and "yetAnotherField" (+2 = 1 at bit position 2)
-are not displayed, thus leaving only field "aField". If the value is 1 (binary representation "0 0 1"), fields
-"aField" and "yetAnotherField" are shown, while "anotherField" is not.
+    In case, extensions still use this setting, they should switch to casual
+    :php:`$GLOBALS['TCA']['someTable']['ctrl']['type']` fields instead, which
+    can be powered by columns based on string values.
