Summary
Fixes an issue where publishing start and end date fields are not visible when creating a new article on the frontend.
Cause
The condition if (!is_null($this->item->id)) restricted the publishing fields to existing articles only.
Fix
Removed the condition so publish_up and publish_down are always displayed.
Kept featured fields restricted via permission checks.
Testing Instructions
- Create a new article (frontend)
- Check publishing start/end dates are visible
- Edit existing article → still visible
Expected Result
Publishing dates visible for both new and existing articles.
