News template: if adding custom date when preparing an unpublished news article, the "status" shown is Published when it should be unpublished

[meols]

Showing published "status" when the page is not yet published is confusing for editors and could potentially lead to someone publishing a confidential article because of a text update when it is still on hold.

I also see the same on dev

@millianapia - I still see some issues with news and dates.

• If I add a custom date for tomorrow by mistake, the text below title says Published date: Not published, while the mouseover says that it is published (1), and it is visible on the /news page with a published date tomorrow (26 Sept)
• If I test publishing a different unpublished news, the publishing is "hanging" while the text change to Published date: 25 Sept 2024 (2). If I then assume it is published since the text changed to publish, and then refresh to stop the "hanging" after a few minutes, it turns out that it isn't published after all - even if it now has a published date (see video)
  So we have issues with news hanging when publishing (have seen it several times) and wonder if it shouldn't be possible to publish a page with a date in the future - unless it is set up with scheduling?

Adding a video from today as well.
We would like to only have the date in custom date checked (not the time). We may prepare news and press publish a minute or two to have newsletters going out, and e.g. press publish at 11:58 but have 12:00 visible in the news as a "nice press release time" 😄
Could the validation text rather be:
Publication date and time
The date can’t be in the future

adjustments has been made, so the time is ignored and only the date is compared @meols

I just noticed that if i don't add a custom date I get a validation error

@millianapia - today I also remembered that local new are also news 😉 and tested that - and there are some issues with local news and date also.
It says Published date: Ikke oppgitt (in Norwegian) for published pages. I think it is when custom date isn't used.
