That's a matter of order of events. The html is loaded when you say
"And I am on the new article page" so it's too late to add new data
for display on that page. Make sense?

This is OK, but falls under what some call an imperative style (as
opposed to declarative). While it can be useful to have a scenario or
two for any given feature that goes field by field, the declarative
style helps you keep things a bit more expressive, more high level,
less verbose, and less brittle.
