Custom Create dialog removes "Add" button

[mauricerenck]

Description

There are several page sections in my site.yml. The draft section normally shows a "+Add" button next to it, where I can create new pages. When I add a page blueprint with a create dialog with status: listed and it's available as a template in the draft section, the add button is gone.
This seems to be caused because the section only lists drafts and that might collide with the status:listed. When I have a draft section that is not restricted to certain templates, this behavior is very confusing.

Expected behavior
The add button should still be available when I have blueprints with status: listed even though they then won't appear in the list after creation.

Screenshots

To reproduce

Create a draft section in site.yml:

drafts:
  type: pages
  headline: Entwürfe
  status: draft
  image: icon

create a page blueprint with a create dialog:

create:
    redirect: false
    status: listed
    slug: '{{ page.link  }}'
    title:
        label: Bookmark
    fields:
        - link
        - bookmarkTags

Open the panel, the add button is gone.
Comment out the status: listed part and it's there again
This happens everywhere where the page blueprint with the create dialog is available.

I think this is intended behavior

kirby/config/sections/pages.php

Lines 269 to 274 in 572dab3

	// if there are multiple statuses or if the section is showing
	// a different status than new pages would be created with,
	// we cannot show the add button
	if (count($statuses) > 1 || $this->status !== $statuses[0]) {
	return false;
	}

I think the reasoning behind implementing it like that was that it becomes quite confusing for a user when they create a new page on a pages section and then the new page doesn't show up in the section.

@mauricerenck Do I understand you correctly that you allow multiple templates in this drafts section and only some have the custom create option to be created directly as listed, but others would still be created as drafts?

[mauricerenck]

@distantnative basically yes. Imagine a simple setup where you have a listing of published pages and a listing for drafts. The drafts are not limited to any template/blueprint. Let's say we have 5 of them, and one of the blueprints includes the create settings shown above. In this case I would not see the add-button even though I could create pages with the 4 other blueprints.

@mauricerenck Thank you, I understand the use case.

We could consider to change the check to "is this section filtering by a status that none of the templates will create".

In the end it is a trade off between two cases that can be not ideal:

• not having an Add button on a section where you actually could create new pages in
• creating pages in a section where they will actually bot show up after creation (and potentially not at all in the view if there aren't other sections)
