I'm working on a "What's New" in D7 screencast and I'm having trouble figuring out the body field and what a best practice would be. A quick review leads me to the following conclusion: The body field is a legacy of a pre-fields-in-core Drupal. I can understand, for ease of upgrading, why the body field might remain in the node_revisions table. But this is what I don't get: Why is the body field still there when you create a *new* content-type the body field is still there on the content-type edit screen. If you want to add a "long text with summary" field you should just go to, "Manage Fields", choose "Text" and then "Long text with summary." I understand that upgraded existing content-types with body fields will still need to be edited. But shouldn't there be a way to edit existing body fields from updated content types without presenting the body field in the legacy manner when creating new content-types? Shai
