Entity Draft

INTRODUCTION

The Entity Draft module adds an 'is_draft' base field to bundle enabled entities and enables saving drafts of entities. It adds a "Save Draft" (text is configurable) button to entity edit forms. Unlike node's "save unpublished", entities with fields that are set to required can be saved by using the Controlled Fields module which does it's own management of the required field setting. As an entity can be in a draft state but not actually valid with respect to filled in required fields, site manager's will have to manage the draft status e.g. on an entity listing, whether to allow showing of draft entities etc.

Enabling the draft functionality happens on the bundle's vertical tab on it's edit page. A number of options can be configure for the draft page (see the image for details).

REQUIREMENTS

Controlled Fields module for 'required' field management.
