Webflow export should create draft items, but makes live CMS items

I have a flow that runs every morning, and used to create draft items in a Webflow export. For the last couple days, it’s been pushing out live CMS items, even though it’s still set to create drafts in the export step.

Anyone else run into this or have ideas for solving?

Hey Brian!

Did a little testing on my side and it looks like if you are creating draft items in a collection that is already published, then it will create them as drafts but also will stage them for publish, so any subsequent publish would pull them out of their draft state.

Do you think that is what is going on for you?

Best,
Brian

Ah, yes I think that must have been it. Will update if it happens again, but it’s worked correctly the last two times since posting this.

Thanks Brian!
