Page reference field and multi language page names

[Laegnur]

Hello

I'm building a tag system for my personal page. I added a Page reference field to the posts template. This field allow create new pages from field. I'm using multi-language support and multi-language page names.

So when creating a new tag into a post, it creates a page with that tag name value for all languages page names, but only activates the default one.

Searching for a solution I found an issue on GitHub from 2015

multi-language on page reference field

This suggest to edit the wire/modules/Inputfield/InputfieldPage/InputfieldPage.module to force the activation of all languages page names.

I temporarily fixed it by adding this to wire/modules/Inputfield/InputfieldPage/InputfieldPage.module

On line 505, in ___processInputAddPages, I added :
// ======================================================
$trimmed_title = trim($title);
$languages = wire("languages");
foreach($languages as $lang) {
$page->title->setLanguageValue($lang, $trimmed_title);
$page->set("status$lang", 1);
// ======================================================

I don't like to edit wire things. So, I ask, it's possible to do this same as module or another solution, other that manually edit the tag page after creation?
