The draft status in Pelican is not a boolean, but a string. I have removed the default boolean option, but I really the toggle would be a great option.

Having an option/choice for the boolean to provide a string opposed to true/false would be a great solve. This would make the dashboard actually useful when looking for "In draft" articles.

Sounds like a good functionality to improve.

Might have to introduce a new setting for this in order to specify what field to use. So that the dashboard can check its type.

Hi @apowell656,

The first implementation is completed.

In order for it to work, you need to do the following steps:

  • Specify the new frontMatter.content.draftField setting, with for instance the following configuration:
"frontMatter.content.draftField": {
  "name": "draft",
  "type": "choice",
  "choices": ["draft", "in progress", "published"]
}
  • In the content type, specify the field type to use for the draft field to draft instead of boolean.
  • Once both steps are completed, the dashboard will show tabs with the different specified choices, and instead of a toggle, it will show a dropdown.
