+Feature: #106739 - Scheduler tasks as native TCA table
+======================================================
+
+See :issue:`106739`
+
+Description
+===========
+
+For historical reasons, the TYPO3 system extension
+:composer:`typo3/cms-scheduler` used a special mechanism for persisting data to
+the database. This was achieved by serializing the entire task object into a
+single field of the database table :sql:`tx_scheduler_task`.
+
+In TYPO3 v14, this behavior has been reworked. The logic for custom fields has
+been split into a dedicated database field :sql:`parameters` of type :sql:`json`
+and a new database field :sql:`tasktype` that stores the scheduler task name or
+CLI command.
+
+An upgrade wizard automatically migrates all existing scheduler tasks to the new
+database structure.
+
+Impact
+======
+
+With this change, TCA is now defined for the :sql:`tx_scheduler_task` table in
+TYPO3. This provides several advantages over the previous implementation:
+
+*    The editing interface is now handled via FormEngine, making it more flexible
+     and extensible.
+*    Changes are stored to the database via DataHandler, which allows
+     customization of persistence operations. The history and audit
+     functionality is now also available for scheduler tasks.
+*    Database entries of :sql:`tx_scheduler_task` can now be exported and
+     imported using the standard import/export functionality.
+*    Deleted tasks can be restored via the recycler module.
+
+Additional functionality such as support for automated database restrictions and
+the TCA schema is available as well.
