Currently, FeedsNodeProcessor only provides a few node properties as targets, such as node title, body, status, etc... It would be nice if it provided more targets, such as:

  • comment (whether comments are allowed)
  • format (input format)
  • promote
  • sticky
  • type (I understand this might not be feasible, since the processor has to know the content type a priori in order to know which fields can be mapped and such)

If it already provides status, I don't know why it shouldn't provide these as well.

This is motivated by an effort to trim down Mailhandler to rely completely on FeedsNodeProcessor and FeedsCommentProcessor, instead of overriding them with custom processors that can set these missing properties: #1029352: Cleaning up authentication, and other high-level restructuring
