 * I created Dropdown to update post_status but it only update value on wp_postmeta
   not in wp_posts.
 * Here is a form HTML
 *     ```
       <select class="wpuf_post_status_select_51" name="post_status_select[]" data-required="yes" data-type="select">
           <option value="private">Private</option>
           <option value="publish">Public</option>
       </select>
       ```
   
 * and function on functions.php
 * // Save custom Privacy option to DB
 *     ```
       function privacy_post_status( $postarr ) {
           $postarr['post_status'] = $_POST['post_status_select'];
           return $postarr;
       }
       add_filter( 'wpuf_add_post_args', 'privacy_post_status' );
       add_filter( 'wpuf_update_post_args', 'privacy_post_status' );
       ```
   
 * I noticed that Dropdown creates [] at the end of the name automatically. Is that
   might be the issue? cause it works when I do the same thing on Radio button.
 * please help!

       function privacy_post_status($postarr) {
           foreach ($_POST['post_status_select'] as $post_status) {
               $postarr['post_status'] = $post_status;
           }
           return $postarr;
       }
   
       add_filter( 'wpuf_add_post_args', 'privacy_post_status' );
       add_filter( 'wpuf_update_post_args', 'privacy_post_status' );
       ```
   
 * This worked for dropdown.
