Triggering NIR on Draft item in automated manner

Summary

How to update Draft item with or without triggering NIR creation/submission

Content

Hello everybody,

Looking for an explanation / insight on logic concerning automatic NIR creation for items with approval status 'Draft':

• When using UI, any update on item does not seem to auto-trigger an NIR. End user has to specifically 'Submit' the 'Draft' item to launch an NIR => that's OK
• When using webservice we have not found a way to trigger NIR creation on an already existing item with approval status 'Draft' => Is there any way to trigger NIR creation (and submission) on an already existing item with approval status 'Draft' using webservices?
