Describe the Bug

A user cannot publish a single type in a specific locale if that single type hasn't been created in the default locale, or if the user lacks access to the default locale.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new single type.
2. Fill out and save the content in this non-default locale.
3. Try to publish the single type.

Expected Behavior

The user should be able to publish a single type in a specific locale, even if it's not created in the default locale, or if the user lacks access to the default locale.

Screenshots

In this example, fr-FR is the default locale.

1. Creating a single type and attempting to publish it in en-FR:

publishing the single type gives a countDraftRelations error with a status code of 404 because it hasn't been created in the default locale (fr-FR).

2. If the single type is created in the default locale but the user lacks access to it: In this case, countDraftRelations failed with a 403 because the user didn't have access to the default locale.

I belive that these errors occur because countDraftRelations checks the default locale instead of the current one.

Same issue for me. I have investigated that somehow when saving Content with non-default language in db it stores with default locale. That's why during publish the system can't find non-default content from db.

Seems this issue is about the same thing.
