Describe the bug

Trying to create a document in draft status on a content type that has draft&published enabled doesn't work, the document gets created and published.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Create a project using the example dataset in v5; you'll also have an article content type with draft&publish enabled
2. Send an api request to create a document on the Article content type with status: draft

{ 
  "data": {
    "title": "Article 1"
  },
  "status": "draft"
}

Expected behavior

The document is created and it's in draft status

As not said; "status=draft" needs to be passed as a query parameter, not in the body of the request.
