Updating a 'published' page to 'draft' status using REST API v2 with 'PUT Update page' causes multiple errors

Issue Summary

The new API feature to update drafts of pages with change Confluence Cloud changelog should allow the ability to Update the Status of a page from ‘Current’ to ‘Draft’, this information can be found here - The Confluence Cloud REST API :

The new version of the updated page. Set this to the current version number plus one, unless you are updating the status to 'draft' which requires a version number of 1.

So going by the documentation, it should allow the Current published page to update to Draft status, though instead, it is making a copy of the current page as a Draft.

Another issue is, the payload that is sent that changes the Title, Body etc of the page is updated with a 200 response and the body returned is correct. Then when going to the actual UI you first see the correct name of the updated draft:

Though clicking through takes you to the draft page with the ‘Current’ content (note: the updated content from the API call is shown for ~.2 secs then reverts to original):

Steps to Reproduce

1. Make a PUT call on endpoint /wiki/api/v2/pages/{id} where {{ {id}

   }} is a published page

2. In the body of the request, make sure the version number is 1 and status is ‘draft’
3. Check UI to see the above in action

Expected Results

The published page becomes a draft with the new content provided in the API call

Actual Results

The published page is Duplicated to a draft and once opened, contains the original, un-updated content. Also, this draft page can not be deleted.

Workaround

Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
