This seems to have been fixed in the docs for 5.0/HEAD (5 weeks ago by
jakeg):


http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/docs/developer/hooks/...


# "prepare": The node is about to be shown on the add/edit form


Somehow this change seems to have been lost when webchick branched the
docs for 4.7.  I'll add the same to the 4.7 docs.

$op can also be 'prepare', this is not mentioned in the API docs:
http://api.drupal.org/api/4.7/function/hook_nodeapi


There is some mention of it here: http://drupal.org/node/22218. Having
that API documentation up-to-date would be a blessing. It's hard to
develop/debug without it.

Looks like you're correct, though I'm not quite sure what the prepare op
is for.


Do you have CVS access? anyone who does can fix the developer docs.   I
updated hook_nodeapi not too long ago since the "submit" op was
incorrrectly listed as "execute"...

I don't have CVS access but even if I did I don't think I would be the
person to update it with information about 'prepare'. The only thing I
know about it is what I found at the links in the issue description.
Someone with some more knowledge about the forms api should be able to
describe more clearly what it does.
