Set Workflow for all documents imported by Replication content

Question

Hi all, 
 Is there a way to set a specific Workflow from an import using Replication content ? 
 Exported documents don't have workflow defined on Vault source and I need to force a workflow on destination Vault. 
 Thanks for your help !

Here is a script that works in an event handler. The last bit about changing the class is not relevant in most cases. There were special circumstances that required this operation in this particular case. 
 Perhaps the trouble with your script is that the workflow and state properties are not present on the object from the beginning. You can see below how I add those property definitions and then place a value in them. 'Eventhandler script to apply OCR workflow when property OCR Needed? = Yes (select from value list)
