As it is right now on CMS Editing options* it is very confusing and frustrating. It is not clear when the article will be published and takes more time to make it Publish "Now" by setting the Day...
independently of the bug* make a 3 option Ratio Button to set when the Article in Published or not
Published: Yes / No / Set Publishing Date
Published:
Yes
No
Set Date (when this is selected then the Date Selection option will turn from "grayed"/ unable to select a date to "Live" and able to select date. (or just use the date that is written to the date selection)
(and make the author "editable" please)
