How is it possible that an item is partial published while it is in a initial workflow step using Sitecore?

Question

For a project i'm using Sitecore workflows. I have a strange issue with a new created comment functionality with workflows. All new comments (submitted from a form on the website by a visitor) are linked to a workflow. There are 3 workflow states:

1. Waiting for approval
2. Approved
3. Rejected

Three fields are defined in the comment template:

1. Name
2. Email
3. Message

The comment is linked to the workflow in the Comment templates standard values. However when I run a publish or full publish the comment template field "Name" and "Email" are published to the Live website while the comment is in review state "Waiting for approval". Did anyone know how this is possible and how i can fix this?

Thanks a lot.

My guess would be, that your "Name" and "Email" fields are marked "shared". If so, they would not be versioned and therefore not parttake in your workflow.

Untick "shared", and mark them "Versionable".
