YesCT CreditAttribution: YesCT commentedI guess the weird part is that author and date are not exposed on the Custom menu link add/edit. Maybe they should be since they are "content" ?
Node:
translation add
edit original language (with content translation enabled)
just creating a new custom menu link (note no author or date)
Comment #2
YesCT CreditAttribution: YesCT commentedseems like fields that are not showing on the language and content translation overview as configurable if they are translatable or not... should default to *not* translatable, and not show on the translation add/edit pages. Or... or maybe they should show on admin/config/regional/content-language but be disabled: showing if they can be translated or not, but now allowing it to change if they are translated or not.
Comment #3
dawehnerI don't really get this issue. Why should it make sense to change the author of a menu link? The menu link edit form is not used to update everything of the node.
Comment #4
Gábor HojtsyThe author/date on the translation is translation metadata. Menu items don't track authors or creation date. It would be useful for deployment, accountability, etc. but it is not the case. Therefore the different displays in forms.
