Example node form with two required fields shown and all others hidden
After saving, showing the whole node form

Experimental project

This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.

Sometimes, Drupal forms are way too complex, even for those of us who use Drupal day in and day out. It'd be great if Drupal could just get out of our way and let us get the basic form submitted without all of the options, widgets, and do-dads.

This module changes the node workflow such that for new nodes, only required fields are shown. After the node is saved, the user is redirected to the edit form where they can fill in more details if they wish, or continue on with more important things. A Brütally Basic API is provided to allow developers to apply this pattern to other forms.
