TYPO3 Core

• Putting TCAdefaults.pages.hidden = 0 in the User TSConfig
• Putting TCAdefaults.pages.hidden = 0 in the Page TSConfig

Both times, a newly created page had hidden = 0 set as default value. (as expectd)

• Info Module -> Page TSConfig
  You can doublecheck here, that your Page TSConfig is correctly applied.

• There are several ways to create a new page. The Button "Create a new record" at the top of the list module or by clicking one of the "Create a new page after this page" in the list of pages. I you use the latter, to create a new page right after an existing page, some settings of the existing page (like page type or hidden status) will be applied to the newly created page. In this case, the TCAdefaults settings would be ignored. (which I think is correct)

The user TsConfig docu has a block with some information about this topic:

https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-tsconfig/master/en-us/UserTsconfig/TcaDefaults.html

Excerpt:
```
This example will not work when creating the page from the context menu since this is triggered by the values listed in the ctrl section of typo3/sysext/core/Configuration/TCA/pages.php:

'ctrl' => [
'useColumnsForDefaultValues' => 'doktype,fe_group,hidden',
...
]
```

I assume this is important for this issue? Or does this really only apply to user tsconfig settings, since this information is only available that very part of the documentation?

We have the exact same issue.

We just installed a completely clean installation of TYPO3 v9.5.14 via. Composer

It works fine if set in userTsConfig, but pageTsConfig is not respected when creating a new page with drag and drop, which works as expected in TYPO3 v8.x.x

We also tried a clean installation of TYPO3 v10.2.0 via. Composer, but with the exact same outcome as with v9.

We found that in v8.x.x the TCAdefaults seem to come from the following function: createNode in file: sysext/backend/Classes/Tree/Pagetree/Commands.php
But this file does not exists in v9+

Does anyone got any idea?

I have the same issue - how can we push this up the priority list?

After some more investigation I found the corresponding lines to this bug:

https://github.com/TYPO3/TYPO3.CMS/blob/master/typo3/sysext/core/Classes/DataHandling/DataHandler.php#L679

Here the user settings are applied only in contrast to the behavior of the FormEngine which can be found here:

https://github.com/TYPO3/TYPO3.CMS/blob/master/typo3/sysext/backend/Classes/Form/FormDataProvider/DatabaseRowInitializeNew.php#L46-L52

So we have currently a big difference if records are created through the FormEngine or directly by the DataHandler.

Yes exactly! The code that handles the pageTS should be done in DataHandler.php, to ensure the same behaviour regardless og the point of entry.

I just tested in TYPO3 v8.7.31, and it seems like in this version userTSconfig TCAdefaults does not work when creating pages with drag and drop. But pageTSconfig does. This might be the cause of the confusion.
