I created a custom post type with a plugin. A registered user can insert a new post from front-end and it is saved as draft. When I edit it in back-end I need it is saved with private visibility.
I found this snippet to set visibility by default:

public function force_dpa_request_private( $data , $postarr ) 

 if( empty( $data['post_name'] ) && 'my-cpt' == $postarr['post_type'] )
 $data[ 'post_status' ] = 'private';

 return $data;

but it works only on first insert, when I edit it the visibility change to public...

You can hook to the save_post which is called after the post is created or updated.

 <?php

 add_action( 'save_post', 'callback_save_post', 10, 3);
 function callback_save_post( $post_ID, $post, $update )
 if ( 'my-cpt' === get_post_type( $post_ID) && ! wp_is_post_revision( $post_ID ) ) 
 // unhook this function so it doesn't loop infinitely
 remove_action('save_post', 'callback_save_post', 10 );

 // Make the post private if it is edited else make it draft.
 if ( $update ) 
 $postarr = array(
 'ID' => $post_ID,
 'post_status' => 'private'
 );
 else 
 $postarr = array(
 'ID' => $post_ID,
 'post_status' => 'draft'
 );
 

 // Update the post.
 wp_update_post( $postarr );

 // re-hook this function.
 add_action( 'save_post', 'callback_save_post', 10, 3);

  Unfortunately this doesn't work. I think there is a syntax error on line 5 (remove_action accepts just three parameters) but however the system seems to stuck (very slow to save post) and after submit a get an incomplete page on front-end. On back-end I find the post but it continues to have private visibility not draft...
