Page create does not respect default article settings

[Aybee]

Config your default article settings.

$GLOBALS['TL_DCA']['tl_article']['fields']['printable']['default'] = array('print', 'pdf');

Create a page. The article created with this page does not have the default article settings.

[leofeyer]

Have you tried it with serialize(array('print', 'pdf'))?

[Toflar]

I guess what he means is that tl_page::generateArticle() does not load the tl_article DCA and check for any defaults...

[Aybee]

Default settings works but not when article gets created while a new page gets created. Only works when you create a new article.

Now I've tested your proposal but with no success as expected.

@contao/developers How can we solve this without duplicating most of the DC_Table::create() code?

[Toflar]

I would just solve this very specific case...

So here I would use this piece of code.

[leofeyer]

What if the encrypt flag is set?

[Toflar]

Yeah well, all the lines: https://github.com/contao/core/blob/master/system/modules/core/drivers/DC_Table.php#L893-L905

[leofeyer]

@contao/developers Do you agree with @Toflar's suggestion?

[aschempp]

I can't think of a better solution…

[leofeyer]

Although IMO we have to copy a lot more code, don't we?

[Toflar]

You are right. What about extracting that code into its own method (e.g. public function copyField()) and then reuse it.
