[4.x]: \craft\services\Drafts#createDraft should not require integer value for $creatorId argument

[ivanBereznev]

What happened?

Description

When modifying a draft via GraphQL API, there can be no current user assigned, i.e. Craft::$app->getUser()->getId() returns null. In this case there is no way to assign any valid creatorId so requiring an integer for $creatorId argument does not look completely correct.
In particular this causes failures when modifying Neo block fields with GraphQL.
Probably the issue is on the plugin side, but since there seems to be no way for it to get ID of the current user it seems to me that API from Craft side is inconsistent.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create an entry with a Neo field
2. Create a draft for an entry
3. Try to modify the value of Neo field for the draft using GraphQL API.

Expected behavior

Changes are applied to the draft.

Actual behavior

An exception is thrown:

[TypeError] craft\services\Drafts::createDraft(): Argument #2 ($creatorId) must be of type int, null given, called in /app/vendor/spicyweb/craft-neo/src/Field.php on line 1197

The exception originates from this line where plugin tries to create draft for a block providing ID of the current user which is null.

It's worth noting that Neo fields do this the same way as Matrix and Super Table fields, so I assume this would affect all three field types.

This should be resolved for Craft 4.3 via #11923.

If you’d like to test, change your craftcms/cms constraint in composer.json to 4.3.x-dev#7c232ea3613c779fdaf986a9b90a64f426b1faad as 4.3.0

@brandonkelly thank you, we've tested it in dev and it works properly now. Could you please share any timeframe when we can expect Craft 4.3 to be released?

[brandonkelly]

@ivanBereznev 4.3 will be out by the end of the month.

Craft 4.3 was released earlier this week!
