Issue Summary

I find it odd that you can set global defaults for input formats:
admin/filters
but that a user can't choose their default input format within that:
user/1/edit

I would like to make an admin role have a default input format of full html, but have anonymous users have a default format of text. I would think that I should be able to do this by setting the global input format to text (which everyone should have access to), but setting my individual account to default to full html when creating new content.

Really not sure why selecting a default format must apply across all roles. Maybe I'm missing something here, but I've run into this problem in 4.6 & 4.7.

I can think of lots of situations where a user-based input-format default would be handy. This may be handled as part of Gabor's review of that area, but...its not fixed.

Marking as fixed.

  • Contrib module Better Formats brings a solution here
  • From D7 onwards text formats are weighted so it is possible to prioritize one over the others
  • I think advanced use-cases belongs to contrib since there isn't a single way to define a default format: should it be global, per user, per role, per-content-type, per book, etc?
