Hi Vincent,

Actually this is not true for wiki macros since we use the author for

Having the content author modified when you add an object does not
make any kind of sense, the fact that some features badly use it does
not make it right. Also since modifying an object does not touch the
content author it makes it totally inconsistent.
Hi,
According to the javadoc in XWikiDocument:
/**
* The last user that has changed the document's content (ie not
object, attachments). The Content author is only
* changed when the document content changes. Note that Content
Author is used to check programming rights on a
* document and this is the reason we need to know the last author
who's modified the content since programming
* rights depend on this.
*/
private DocumentReference contentAuthorReference;
This means that objectadd or objectremove actions shouldn't change the
content author as they do now.
this would mean add and remove object, but not update. Still, the subject of
the mail mentions object update as well. Which one is it?
I'm proposing that we fix this.
Do you see any issue?
I can think of some documents that need programming rights and for which the
code that needs the programming rights is in objects: Wiki Macros, Scheduler
Jobs, JSX/SSX with use "always". This would sort of mean that one can edit a
wiki macro script and the macro would still have PR, no?
Also, it could be a bit hard to understand why you need to edit the object
and then go edit the document in wiki mode and save it with no change (btw,
does that still change document author? I think there was a change
recently...) so that the script you wrote when editing the document in
inline mode still works.
