Steps to reproduce the issue

Click the Featured icon in the admin articles list view; the article is now featured. View the ucm_content table, note core_featured value remains 0 (zero). Click to Edit the article; note it shows as 'Featured', but if you click Save, the ucm_content record now shows core_featured value of 1 as expected.

Expected result

core_featured should update to '1' when featured is selected from article list view.

Actual result

ucm_content.core_featured value remains 0 if article featured is enabled from article list view. Similarly, the value remains 1 if article featured is disabled from the same list view. Only the Edit view appears to update ucm_content, which breaks displaying featured articles only in tag views.

System information (as much as possible)

Joomla 3.9.19.
