Bug vs. Stupidity.

My entire project is being held up by either a bug on my stupidity. I have asked for support int he forum but noone is touching the topic which means I am either and idiot or I have a unique bug. Please help if anyone cam

My requirement is complex but I it's not workign so I have simplified my task in order to try and solve what the problem. At present my only task is this. I can't seem to make it work despite doing what seems to be everything right.

My task simplified to the basics is....

*Publish an unpublished node when it is edited.

I have created a new content type called Test. Default it is unpublished and not on front page.

I then create Content Type Test named "Test Item".

I then open triggers module and do the following.

Add Trigger:

Trigger: When either saving a new post or updating an existing post
Action:Publish Post.

I then edit "Test Item" and save it. At this point I would assume the Node "Test Item" to now be published.

I open the logs and yes indeed I see the following entry.

action 05/20/2008 - 00:20 Set Test Test Item to published. admin

However, when I check on the published status of "Test Item" the check box for "Published" is not checked off.. That is, It's still unpublished.

What am I doing wrong here. Or is there some bug that's going on and if so what can I do to help solve it. I very much appreciate any help and I am not going to throw any more temper tantrums. I swear. I just need to know if I am being a dolt, or if I need to try and figure out another way to do this.. ie another CMS, Another Module etc.

THANK YOU!
