I recently upgraded a large intranet based on Exponential from version 3.4 to version 3.8.
However I have noticed one key feature no longer works.
When I edit an existing item I can no longer change the parent node of the item. To do this I set the SetPlacementNodeIDArray[] and MainNodeID to the nodeid of the new parent node.
E.g. <input type="hidden" name="SetPlacementNodeIDArray[]" value="{$newparentnodeid}" /> <input type="hidden" name="MainNodeID" value="{$newparentnodeid}" />
These fields work when I am creating a new object, however they don't seem to work when editing an existing item.
Can someone please confirm weather or not they use similar code in their edit templates and weather it works in Exponential 3.8?

Thanks for the suggestion.
I applied the patch, however I still have the same problem.
Any ideas?

In kernel/content/node_edit.php, on line 251:
// If the object has been previously published we do not allow node assignment operations if ( $object->attribute( 'status' ) != EZ_CONTENT_OBJECT_STATUS_DRAFT ) { return; }
I'm afraid it's the expected behavior. The code came in together with the new multilingual features on trunk svn rev. 15370.

Thanks.
Would it be a good idea to remove this if statement?
Or should I just write an extension that takes care of it?
