Page Link field type does not show pages in dropdown

The cause: The page link field type does not recognize if the status of the post in the database is not publish or draft.

So if I have a custom status “In Progress” or “Completed”, posts/pages with either of these statuses won’t show up in the dropdown.

Is there a workaround for this? I really need to retain the custom statuses.

Hi @contemplato

Thanks for the bug report.

At the moment, the page_link and post_object field use a post_status param of:
'post_status' => array('publish', 'private', 'draft', 'inherit', 'future'),

This explains why your custom status are not being included.

In the upcoming v5, I have changed this to:
'post_status' => 'any',

For now, can you please edit the core/fields/post_object.php file on line 93 and make this change manually?

Let me know if it works correctly with the change.

Thanks

Hi @contemplato

Glad to hear it. I have included this into the core and will be available in the next version.

Thanks
