    Content Service CreateContent method ignoring UserId set.

    Hi,

    I'm using the IContentService within a custom dashboard element. This dashboard imports data and generates nodes with the ContentService.

    Currentl, I have the following two users:

    • Myself (UserId: -1)
    • ImportBot (UserId: 1)

    I'm logged in with my personal account but when the content is created I'm assigning the ImportBot's UserId to the method as shown here:

    _contentService.CreateContent(c.NodeName, parent.GetUdi(), "newsItem", 1);

    However, it always creates the nodes under my account. Is there anyway to force these nodes to be generated by the ImportBot?

    If you are correct this sounds like a bug and should be reported at:

    I think the user ID you pass to CreateContent ends up being overwritten by the user ID passed to Save or SaveAndPublish (which will both default to -1).

    The IContent you get back from CreateContent should have its CreatorId and WriterId properties set to 1, but Save will then update both properties.
