Request to stop prefilling [#810862]

A trade-off (well, to me, at last) of the solution to bug #726758: A suggestion to preserve destination & other parameters is that newly created nodes with the “Create and add another”-button have all fields prefilled with the content of the previous made node.

A disadvantage of prefilling is that it is unclear if a new node had been created, because it might appear as if you’re looking at the previous made one.

Apparently the loading of the new node is different in 6.x-1.3 in comparioson to the 1.2 version of this module as Autofocus is not working anymore. Because of this I have to click the first field AND I have to select the content of the field. To me that is a real drawback, so I really hope you can look at a solution.

Subscribe, I need this to go away as well. I'll take a look at it more later.

I think it's presumptuous to assume that people who need a module to redirect to the node add form after creation would also want the fields prefilled with the content of the last node. So you can create the same node you just created?

a fix:

line 32: $form_state['redirect'] =  null;

Well yeah, that works for me.
Maybe there is a happy medium though?
I haven't had any need for the functionality of the patch that causes pre-filling, but it might be useful someday...
