Hi
I have built a public access form that includes an article state field which needs to default to unpublished upon submit.
I don't want this field available to the public as the form needs to be published by another user at a later time. I'm aware you can hide the field but this would also hide it from the publishing user.
So I have created an access level and applied this to the field so only users which have that access level can see/edit the article state field to publish it.
However, although this works every time no problem without the field having an access level applied to it as soon as I apply the access level to the field it will not default to unpublished it defaults to published even with the default live value set to 0 and the field default value set to 0. If I remove the access on the field ie put it back to public the field will successfully default to unpublished. As soon as I put it back to the other access level it defaults to published.
Cheers
