New items once staged remain new and don't indicate they're staged

Bug Report

Crafter CMS Version

4.0.0-SNAPSHOT

Date of Build

April 20, 2022

Describe the bug

New items remain new after having been published to staging. It should be a blue light (staged) and tell the user it's "Staged"

Similarly, previously published items that have since been edited and published to Staging still show edited.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a site and publish it
2. Create a new item
3. Publish new item to staging
4. See the new item remaining new with no visual indication it's been staged

I tested the current behavior and I found this:

• After creating an item and publishing to staging the item has the correct state staged, but since it also has the state new it shows as new (due to our current validation in UI)
• When creating a new item it has the modified state as true (from backend).

So, if we validate the staged state of an item when new we may end up having issues with the modified state of an item when new.

Per https://github.com/craftercms/craftercms/issues/5442 we only show publishing target when no workflow is present — including new and or modified. We would need to discuss modifying the rules in order to do this.
