Updating a list view within the admin site works through the bulk actions menu. Both 'status' and 'is_live' fields are updated correctly when I click on the 'Go' button next to the actions menu.
However, when I edit the status of a course through the status menu and hit 'Save', I notice that only the 'status' field is updated but not the 'is_live' field.
What shall I add to the workspace code of that lesson in order to make it work.

class Course(models.Model):
# ...
# Overwrite the save method to add custom action
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
if self.status == 'p':
# if status is "Published", force is_live to True
self.is_live = True
# call parent save method to complete the save action
super().save(*args, **kwargs)
