The Manage form display for nodes allows Authored by (uid), Authored on (created), and various promotion options to be repositioned and placed into groups (such as vertical tabs).

However, in web/core/modules/node/src/NodeForm.php these form fields are hard-coded into an 'advanced' group and an 'options' group, which therefore entirely ignores any positioning done on the Manage form display page.

I cannot believe this is not a filed issue already, so i'm sure i'm missing it, but i cannot find it anywhere, so here we go.

In Drupal 8 and Drupal 9 such authoring information and node options should not be hardcoded but should respect the configuration on the content-type-specific form display administration.

Thanks for logging @mlncn! I am closing this in favour of #3165273: Allow node form tabs to be reordered only because I've already updated the issue summary there. I'll add you as a contributor there.
