Entry validation not working when Publish live changes permission is not checked
That's the idea behind Drafts, to store entries not yet ready to publish, unfinished ones so to speak.

How to use select dropdown with entries/saveEntry for an entry field?
I ran into this a while ago and it drove me nuts. Try adding disabled and selected attributes to your initial option in the select. So in your case <option disabled selected>---</option>.

saveEntry() not firing
Something on the $entryToSave EntryModel is failing validation. If you
echo out implode(', ', $entryToSave()->getAllErrors());, then you'll see what those errors are and you can correct them.

Will having the Craft storage directory (CRAFT_STORAGE_PATH) on a Digital Ocean Volume (like AWS EBS) dramatically affect CMS save performance?
Even if a request (or specifically an Element save operation) doesn't make much use of a file-based cache, it will likely compile and read templates from the storage directory. Logs will also be ...
