Status does not reflect translation revision

Created on 18 May 2023, over 1 year ago

I'd like to preface this by saying I'm not sure if this is an actual bug, or just a difference in our expectation vs how it works by design.

Problem/Motivation

The "Status" section (e.g. "Draft Authored by joe.bloggs 45 minutes ago") at the top of the moderation sidebar does not reflect the status/author/timestamp for the current translation being viewed.

Steps to reproduce

As user "joe.bloggs", create a page in the site's default language (e.g. English) and publish it.
The status reads: "Published Authored by joe.bloggs 1 minute ago" (correct)
As user "jane.doe", create a translation in another language (e.g. German) and save as "Draft".
The status on the German translation page reads: "Draft Authored by jane.doe 1 minute ago" (correct)
Navigate to the English version of the page, the status reads: "Published Authored by jane.doe 1 minute ago" (incorrect author/time)

Our preference would be that:

On the English version of the page, the status should read: "Published Authored by joe.bloggs 1 minute ago"
On the German version of the page, the status should read: "Draft Authored by jane.doe 1 minute ago"

Proposed resolution

Update which revision is used to provide the Status information.

Remaining tasks

Decide if this is actually a bug, or by design.
