If you like you can make a field called [Record ID# mirror] with a formula of [Record ID#] and then use a form rule to detect that the record is in Add mode as that field is empty (or maybe it will be zero), and the Submission Status is blank and have a form rule set that to Draft.

But really, I suppose that is identical to defaulting it to DRAFT.  

I guess I'm not understanding why you can't just set the default value to DRAFT.
