Hide revision log field when new content is created #144

Closed rlnorthcutt closed 5 years ago

rlnorthcutt commented 5 years ago

When new content is being created, there really isn't any need for the revision log field. We should hide it and set a default value like: "Initial content creation by [username]"

This creates a cleaner, simpler form and will make the demo look less confusing.

This should be done for media as well. Can we do it at a high enough level that it works for all revision-able entities?

This might be worth doing as a core issue/patch as well.

I agree just setting this to something like "Originally created by [username] on [MM-DD-YYY]" would be sane and it'd take thinking out of the matter as that text box is competing with the other form elements while not providing much value on the initial node/add page.
