TYPO3 Core

Collecting some details from the other bugs here.

Example-defaults (from #25107):
Configure TCAdefaults for pages:
TCAdefaults {
pages {
author = Susanne Moog
author_email = mail@example.com
}
}

Creating a new page through pagetree goes through class.t3lib_tcemain.php::process_datamap().

PageTS could be accessed through:
$pageTS = t3lib_beFunc::getPagesTSconfig($pid);
if (isset($pageTS['TCAdefaults.'])) {
See for example typo3/sysext/wizard_crpages/class.tx_wizardcrpages_webfunc_2.php or t3lib/class.t3lib_transferdata.php

Shouldn't this be a "must have"?

I found a few solutions to this problem, but the real questin behind this is "which class should have the role to determine field values" ?

For new the only which seems to do the job properly is t3lib_transferdata (method fetchRecord)

So one of the solution is to rewrite t3lib_tcemain->newFieldArray in order to use (or replace) t3lib_transferdata->fetchRecord and to be called after "pid" determination (as pagetsconfig depends of record's pid)

It seems that TCAdefaults.pages in UserTS are still not respected. Just tested this in 4.7.2. Can anyone confirm this?
