Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.You ar enot supposed to change values in $node during validation. Instead, you can change $node->title during nodeapi(submit). That happens after validate and before node_save(). you can then skip the form_set_value() stuff and set directly on $node.

fagoyes, this was my first approach. But this won't work for node previews... so I see no way to change this. Furthermore I'm just using form_set_value() according to its documentation.
so I set it to won't fix.

moshe weitzman commentedi think nodeapi(prepare) is the way to do this for previews.

I'm not sure if this hook is intended to make value changes. However I think it would work to change $node->title there, but I can't get the necessary data at this stage. For getting the data I need the new fully built node object, and this isn't available there.
Furthermore CCK does its 'process form values' step first on validation. I need to access the $node object after this step, or things that use this like the date field will break.
