Option to not regenerate title on edit [#2011368]

I want to generate titles when nodes are created but the conditions I use to generate the title only exist at the time of creation. When i edit the node later the title gets broken/changed. I also want the title hidden in the add and edit forms. I had the same problem with Automatic Nodetitles (#1225384: Generate title only on insertion, not on update (D7)). Any suggestions?

Interesting request. Not possible at the moment, as you well know, but definitely sounds like something that we could add...

Care to write a patch? I might do so eventually, but I don't have a lot of spare time at the moment.

It is easy to do this by using the php option and some code like this

if([node:is-new]==0){
//if the node is not new return the previous title
$n=node_load([node:nid]);
return $n->title;
} else{
//you can use the token here
return [some:token];
}
