TYPO3 Core

I guess this is still reproducible on version 13.3.0-dev; this is the test I performed:

Prerequisites:¶

• TYPO3 with a DRAFT workspace

Test procedure:¶

1. LIVE workspace: create a page and a CE in it
2. switch to DRAFT workspace; edit the CE created at point 1 and change something (title, text..)
3. switch back to LIVE workspace
4. edit the DRAFT workspace record and activate the Freeze Editing [freeze] switch; save it
5. go back to DRAFT workspace
6. Click on the page created at point 1 and click on the Workspace module on the left menu
7. The CE is listed in the workspace module list of elements that can be published
8. Select it; select on the dropdown "choose staging Action": "publish to LIVE" (*)
9. Continue the process by clicking on "OK" on the modal window

Results:¶

- The CE is NOT PUBLISHED and IS NOT removed from the list (as it would be if it were published to LIVE version)
- The CE is still selected; but the dropdowns "choose staging action" and "choose selection action" disappear and only "Choose mass action" dropdown is visible (same configuration you have initially, before selecting anything)

It seems that the "freeze editing" forbids every update/change inside the workspace, including the change when a CE is promoted to LIVE.

(*) NOTE: the result is the same by choosing instead the dropdown "choose selection action" > Publish

I raise the version to 12 as I think it is affected, too
