Hi folks

I'm writing this so that someone might give me "yes" or "no" type feedback for my thoughts:

If I am creating a new content type (article or blank) I am best advised to use the fields that exist already:

Field for Article Title

• Type: Text
• Title: Article Title
• Name: art_title (machine name used in DB)
• Label: Title
• Format / Object: Standard | Article | title

Field for Article Alias

• Type: Text
• Title: Article Alias
• Name: art_alias (machine name used in DB)
• Label: Alias
• Format / Object: Standard | Article | Alias

I have tried to create a new field that does the same thing, but each time the title and alias are timestamped...

I will update this post as I learn more, feel free to assist :)
