Hi, our site is using Flag, Flag Weights and Draggable Views to order nodes created from RSS feeds using FeedAPI. The problem is that the nodes created from feeds using FeedAPI aren’t consistently created with a default flag for ordering in DViews, despite the fact that the parent content type is set to create nodes with an ordering flag by default. At least 1/3 of the time the flag is not set in the created nodes.

Another content type, which doesn’t create nodes using the feed API, is set to add an ordering flag by default in contents default workflow settings, and it does create new nodes with the ordering flag.

Seems like the problem is occurring in FeedAPI. All of the FeedAPI Node and Feed API Inherit settings seem fine. Everything works great except for this default flag for reordering. Other default settings in the parent’s content type (i.e. RSS Feed) for Workflow, such as “Published,” work for the created children nodes.

Btw, the default flag is currently set in that parent content type’s Workflow settings, but I’ve tested setting a default flag in the child content type, then tried setting a default flag in both—none of the three setups work.

Our current work-around is to use Views Bulk Operations to select all nodes and then run a flagging action. This work-around works, but it’s a time-consuming, unnecessary step.

Any ideas about what might be going on? I’m happy to supply more details.

Thanks a lot.
