Node created timestamp and updated timestamp are different for new nodes

When a new node is created, the created timestamp and changed timestamp are not the same. This is because of the function copyFormValuesToEntity in ContentEntityForm.php which copies values only from non-widget fields to the entity when the node is saved. Since 'changed' is a hidden field, even though it has the same timestamp as created until this function is executed , now gets a different time than the created.

I would assume that created and changed times should be the same for new nodes. Thoughts appreciated!

Thanks,
Sukanya

  • Needs subsystem maintainer review

    It is used to alert the maintainer(s) of a particular core subsystem that an issue significantly impacts their subsystem, and their signoff is needed (see the governance policy draft for more information). Also, if you use this tag, make sure the issue component is set to the correct subsystem. If an issue significantly impacts more than one subsystem, use needs framework manager review instead.

    This issue is being reviewed by the kind folks in Slack, #needs-review-queue-initiative. We are working to keep the size of Needs Review queue [2700+ issues] to around 400 (1 month or less), following Review a patch or merge request → as a guide.

    Tagging for subsystem review to see if this may have been by design?
    Can confirm I see the same thing on D10

    I've proposed a solution over in https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2709387#comment-16037430 🐛 Node creation date is populated on creation form Needs work which I think would solve both bugs

    Re-opening the issue as Active because the other issue is now postponed. One of the two should remain open.

    I updated the issue summary with the issue summary template, some steps to reproduce, and a summary of discussion.
