Adding new blocks to a page doesn't change its modified status

[robbieaverill]

Versions: SS 4.3.x-dev with elemental 3.2.x-dev OR elemental 4.0.x-dev

• Create a new page
• Publish the page with no blocks
• Add three content blocks, all with "Version 1a" as the content
• Save each block and return to the page

Expected: the page should indicate somehow that it is in a draft state, since the content for the page has changed and is not yet published

Actual: the page remains in an unmodified (no draft changes) and published state

Debugging info

Page ID: 13
Creation: create page in root of site tree, change name to "Elemental test page", save

Step one, add a block and save it

• Page.ElementalAreaID remains as 15
• ElementalArea.Version remains as 1

Step two, publish the page

• Page.ElementalAreaID remains as 15
• ElementalArea.Version is changed to 2

Step three, edit the block's content and save it

• Page.ElementalAreaID remains as 15
• ElementalArea.Version remains as 2

---

So it looks like the problem is that the ElementalArea's version is not increased when an element it owns is modified. If it were, we probably wouldn't have an issue.

I've raised an issue over on versioned that is related to this: silverstripe/silverstripe-versioned#195
