PageChangedOnPublish
Vote:
Is it possible to affect the "Page changed on publish"-checkbox in edit mode for a page to make it set by default (and allow the editor to manually uncheck it)?
I've tried hooking up EPDataFactory_LoadedPage to set e.Page.Property["PageChangedOnPublish"].Value=true, but it doesn't seem to affect the checkbox at all.

I've just made this (this morning actually). I looked around a bit and found a code sample that I modified.
This creates a hidden editpanel that can be used for other purposes as well, such as hooking on javascript on submit button.
