Heya

I am using a MySQL setup for a list of videos.  
I’ve setup everything (hopefully) according to the cookbook, but I can’t seem to get the `draft` status working. It always shows `unlisted`

Any idea?  
I’ll post all necessary code below:

```auto
# video.yml
title: Video

options:
  changeSlug: false
  changeTitle: false

fields:
  status:
    label: Status
    type: text
    disabled: true

```

```auto
#models/videos.php
class VideosPage extends Kirby\Cms\Page
{
	public function children()
	{
		$videos = [];

		foreach (Db::select('videos') as $video) {
			$videos[] = [
				'slug' => $video->slug(),
				'num' => $video->status() === 'listed' ? 0 : null,
				'template' => 'video',
				'model' => 'video',
				'content' => [
					'title' => $video->title(),
					(..)
					'status' => is_null($video->status()) ? 'draft' : $video->status()
				]
			];
		}

		return Pages::factory($videos, $this);
	}
}

```

even setting `'status' => 'draft'` does not change the panel preview ☹

Functions in `model/video.php` are per the cookbook.  
Database has a column called `status` and some entries with `draft` in it

Any hint as to what I am missing?

Thanks!

Is the `isDraft()` method defined in your page model for the single page?
