I also don’t see a way to edit that form in that location, though there is a hook called post_submitbox_misc_actions
near the bottom.
I strongly suggest that use that post_submitbox_misc_actions
hook or add your own brand new meta_box to the page. There are potentially severe consequences to altering the default meta_boxes, especially that one.
However… if you must…
Remove that box:
function remove_taxonomies_submit_box() {
remove_meta_box( 'submitdiv', 'book', 'side' );
}
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes_book' , 'remove_taxonomies_submit_box', 100 );
And add back a box of your own construction (Generic Example):
function add_altered_submit_box() {
add_meta_box(
'submitdiv', // id, used as the html id att
__( 'Generic Title' ), // meta box title
'generic_cb', // callback function, spits out the content
'book', // post type or page.
'side', // context, where on the screen
'high' // priority, where should this go in the context
);
}
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes_book' , 'add_altered_submit_box', 101 );
The callback, of course, will be a near duplicate of the original submit box callback. The post type in those examples is ‘book’ that will need to be changed to match your post type.
