+Feature: #93794 - Override TCA description with TSconfig
+========================================================
+
+See :issue:`93794`
+
+Description
+===========
+
+The TCA description, introduced in :issue:`85410`, allows to define a description
+for a TCA field, next to its label. Since the purpose of a field may change
+depending on the current page, it is now possible to override the TCA
+description property with page TSconfig.
+
+.. code-block:: typoscript
+
+   TCEFORM.aTable.aField.description = override description
+
+As already known from other properties, this can also be configured for a
+specific language.
+
+.. code-block:: typoscript
+
+   TCEFORM.aTable.aField.description.de = override description for DE
+
+The option can be used on a per record type basis, too.
+
+.. code-block:: typoscript
+
+   TCEFORM.aTable.aField.types.aType.description = override description for aType
+
+Also referencing language labels is supported.
+
+.. code-block:: typoscript
+
+   TCEFORM.aTable.aField.description = LLL:EXT:my_ext/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:override_description
+
+.. note::
+
+   The new option can not only be used to override an existing property,
+   but also to set a description for a field, that has not yet been
+   configured a description in TCA.
