[drupal-devel] edit reverts node options

[Alaa Abd El Fattah]

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
