hierarchy

 How to reproduce:

 1. Create a set of pages with a status publish
 2. Set hierarchy to pages
 3. Change the status to of the aforementioned set to draft
 4. Open draft for editing.
 5. Save as draft.
 6. Now you have lost the hierarchy.

 I think you should retain the hierarchy, because it is quite common use
 case to build something as drafts before publishing them or taking pages
 to drafts if they are in need for editing and the user wants them out
 before edits are done. Tickets  possibly related #15541 and #12890.
