Hi all, I hit this bug/feature http://drupal.org/node/7940 several times. to summarize if you edit a node without having administer node permission all the node options (promot, sticky, comment) will revert to the default. I would like promoted content to remain promoted even after it gets edited by a non adminsitrator. the proposed solution http://asitis.org/tmp/node_defaults_admin_content_1.png was perfect but it seems the patch is not maintained, any chance this could go in 4.6? or is it possible to get around this with some contrib module hackery? cheers, Alaa -- http://www.manalaa.net ultimate_answer_t deep_thought(void) { sleep(years2secs(7500000)); return 42; }
