The Featured menu item disappears. So it works if accepted.

During this test I edited a featured article to add a Read More break. On saving I got this error:

Unknown column 'is_current' in 'field list'

I reproduced it once but after I could not reproduce it at all, so I could not copy the stack trace. Curious!

So I did some other tests and then came back to move the Read More break in my featured article. On Save this error was triggered:

<h1>An error has occurred.</h1>
<blockquote class="blockquote">
<span class="badge bg-secondary">1054</span>
Unknown column 'is_current' in 'field list'
</blockquote>
