ReplaceNestedContentDataTypeArtifactMigrator migration creates draft blocks

[skttl]

When using export/import and migrating nested content to block list using the built in ReplaceNestedContentDataTypeArtifactMigrator, the resulting blocks is only drafts.

Heres an example of my property value:

Expected result

Since Nested Content doesn't have the concept of drafts, I would have expected it to import the blocks as published.

Hi Søren! This behavior is most likely due to having variance (vary by culture) enabled on the linksWithCategory element type, can you check this and report back? Nested Content ignored this, but with the introduction of block level variance (see PR umbraco/Umbraco-CMS#17120), the Block List will only expose (publish) blocks for variants that are edited, ensuring users have entered/edited the values.

I've updated the NestedContentPropertyTypeMigrator to expose blocks when the element type uses variance and you can update to Deploy 16.0.3 to take advantage of this. You can also ensure the variance is disabled, either manually or using a migrator during import.

Hi @ronaldbarendse

The linksWithCategory content type is not varying

I'll try with 16.0.3 later :)
