Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Clarify requirements
"Schedule for tomorrow" means setpost_dateto tomorrow 9 AM; "keep as draft" means no auto-publishing, so usepost_status = 'draft'.Step 2: Draft status behavior
Draft prevents publishing regardless ofpost_date; future dates do not trigger auto-publish.Step 3: Set future date for correct publish timing
Combinepost_status = 'draft'withpost_datetomorrow: stays draft now, dated tomorrow when manually published.Final Answer:
post_status = 'draft'andpost_dateset to tomorrow 9 AM -> Option CQuick Check:
Draft + futurepost_date= draft with future date [OK]
Quick Trick: Draft + future post_date stages post without auto-publishing [OK]
