My content status changes automatically when editing

Created on 23 May 2024, about 1 year ago

I'm encountering a problem that's bothering me. I use Drupal's Workflows module and Content Moderation to manage the publication of my content.

I have defined the following statuses:
- Draft
- Pending review
- Archived
- Online (content published when a content reaches this status)

By default, when content is created (a News, for example), it is in Draft (offline) status.

I've also defined the following transitions:

| Label | From | To |
|---------------------|-------------------------------|-------------|
| Save as draft | Pending review, Archived | Draft |
| Submit for review | Draft | Pending review |
| Archive | Pending review, Online | Archived |
| Online | Pending review, Archived | Online |

I've added the State moderation field to my News creation form, so that the site manager can switch between the different statuses I've defined.

However, I'm encountering the following problem: when a news is modified, its status is automatically changed, without even having modified the State moderation field.

For example, I have a news with the status Online (i.e. published). I go to change its title, save: it's changed to Archived! But I want it to remain Online.

Could you tell me how to avoid this change?

Hi @arthurg,

To address the issue you're encountering, you may want to update your transition workflow. Currently, your "Online" transition only applies when content moves from "Pending review" or "Archived" to "Online."

To ensure that content remains published (Online) while editing the title field, you should modify the "Online" transition. Specifically, add the "Online" status as a valid transition option within your "Online" workflow, allowing the content to remain published without being automatically archived upon title updates.
