Post Status on Grid Editor Screen #122

What if you have a page draft and build a grid and then you decide to publish the grid and wonder why it is not available in frontend. That seems to be a bug never happened till now.

What's you opinion on that @mkernel ?

Hmm, i think that those are two different things. You might want to discuss the unpublished page internally prior to publishing it. If you can't publish the grid in that case, everyone has to use the preview feature to have a look at it.

i would also not consider that a bug, but a feature request.

in Drupal we render the grid on unpublished pages, but the page being unpublished reduces the number of people being able to access it. That's totally fine i would say. Maybe the wordpress branch behaves differently?

We discussed this f2f. There might be user that use this double content state process that we have right now. So to automatically publish the post when publishing the grid seems not be be the best idea. Instead we want to get the post status into the grid editor screen, so the user can see which status the wrapping post has.
