Is there any way to set a default status for Entries, either globally or per Section? The subject more or less covers it — is there any way to set the default status for Entries, either on a Section by Section basis, or globally?

I have a client that doesn't want to accidentally set something live when they save something without deliberately setting it to published.

At the moment it looks like I have two options:


Create an un-Crafty "Publish" checkbox field that I check for in my templates.
Use User Groups to keep some users from publishing — this is a little overkill for them, though. They don't want to keep these people from publishing, just try to limit people publishing content without meaning to.
Your two options are the only ones thus far. If you would like this feature you can leave a post on the G+ group, or email them at: support@buildwithcraft.com
