Fix: null author locale when saving new content#3697
Open
Conversation
When creating a new content record, $originalAuthor is null because there is no original content to get the author from. This causes a fatal error at line 184 when calling ->getLocale() on null. Falls back to the request locale when originalAuthor is null. Fixes bolt#3696

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Can you make sure that all checks (except for the cypress one, that is broken once agani) are passing?
