bug #7022
TaxonName.protectedAuthorshipCache should initially be false
0%
Description
The default value of TaxonName.protectedAuthorshipCache is true. Since this cache is protected a user with the authority TAXONNAME.[CREATE] can not create and persist a new TaxonName without setting this field to false prior doing the flush (see #7021 for details). Therefore this field should be initially set to false. For many use cases it might be advisable to protect this field for usability reasons, but protecting it initially because of such considerations is too opinionated and breaks the principle of least surprise.

Can you give more information why you think that
"The default value of TaxonName.protectedAuthorshipCache is true"?
In TaxonName it is
private String authorshipCache;
and therefore false in most implementations.

You are absolutely right there is obviously no true set as default default for TaxonName.protectedAuthorshipCache. However, while working on #7021 the protectedAuthorshipCache was apparently always set to true, causing problems. I had to set it to false explicitly in my code make avoid problems, but not this has changed - very mysterious, but anyway we can close this ticket as invalid.
