I am having an issue where the regular REST API is returning draft items, even with draftAndPublish enabled. To reproduce just create an entity, let’s say “book”, and add a new book but don’t publish it. If you request the item by ID it returns the book, even if it is still a draft. For example:

GET /api/books/1
