Hi @dadams3,
Whilst I understand the question and perhaps the request to avoid the extra step or click, can I ask to exercise a little caution here and check the why, and also perhaps add some boundaries around this, for example, restricting this to a certain Knowledge Base, or perhaps role, or other suitable criteria. This is exactly what logic is built into the 'Publish' button.
The reason why the Publish button is required is because there is a very low percentage of Articles that are written on initial creation which don't require a second read through or review from the author before sending for formal review and approval.
Taking on board what I've mentioned above, in order to answer your question directly, if you still want to go ahead (and you've factored in and restricted by Knowledge bqase etc), this can be achieved relatively easily by the introduction of a Business Rule that simply calls the same call to the workflow as the 'Publish' button - see below.
I still however want to advise caution and thought here and advise against it unless restricted.
To help others (or for me to help you more directly), please mark this response correct by clicking on Accept as Solution and/or Kudos.
Thanks, Robbie
Business Rule Code:
(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
gs.addInfoMessage('Running Publish Cycle'); // remove or comment this line if you do not want to display to the user.
new global.KnowledgeUIAction().publish(current);
})(current, previous);
