Automatic id rename after title change

Question

What could be the best way to achieve a functionality that

• All items get new id based no title edits automatically, no need to rename items manually

• This would use the id normalization + counter format used by Plone by default

• Can be enabled globally for all Archetypes content types

Answer 1

Yuri's on the right track - for a quick and very dirty, I believe this will work:

context.setTitle('lorem ipsum')
context.unmarkCreationFlag()
context.processForm()

Strictly, that's not what the documentation says - as it shouldn't do a rename if it doesn't have the temporary ID generated in the portal factory, but I was getting renaming happening when I modified titles of objects that still had the CreationFlag marked
