Add support for Studio Drafts in API and Backend

[designationna]

Describe the feature you’d like

Please implement support for studio drafts in the stash-box backend and API.

Currently, users can submit drafts to create or update scenes and performers directly via the API, which are then held in a temporary queue for moderator approval. However, there is no system available for studios.

This backend addition is a hard prerequisite before StashApp can implement a “Submit to Stash-Box” button on local studio details pages.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing users

According to the official StashDB curation guidelines, scenes submitted to the database must be linked to a studio.

Currently, if a user wants to submit a new scene but the associated studio does not yet exist on StashDB, they have to manually pivot away from StashApp, open StashDB in a browser, create the studio draft there, wait/link it, and then proceed.

Is there an existing way to achieve this goal?

Not to my knowledge.

Additional context

This issue serves as the backend dependency for the corresponding StashApp frontend proposal:

Submit studio drafts to stash-box

It just means that request is effectively blocked until they support it. And it’s fine to request it here also, just create new feature request and tag it with stash-box and frame it from that perspetive. But you can also make it on GitHub directly. Both projects are under stashapp umbrella, they just have different lead developers.
