Plone 4 - Editing short names

[Nate Jarchow]

In 4.1.3 setting the user preference "Allow editing of Short Names"
appears to do nothing. When set and creating or editing content the
short name field does not show up in the editing form.

I have not found any documentation stating this feature went away in
Plone 4 nor do I see any bug reports.

Could anyone confirm this as a bug?

Nate

Hi Nate,

There's a site-wide setting called "Show 'Short Name' on content?" in
the Site Settings > Editing control panel. Try turning that on.

HTH,

Maybe you already did it, but in Plone you must select this option in
two places:
1) the Manager must check the option than allow users to fill the id field
2) every single user must choose the same option in their own preferences

You need to enable it globally in the "Editing" control panel.  I
don't believe this behavior has changed recently.
