Workflow: add to "No State"

Former Member

Hi.

I have a nifty workflow, working great.

The only thing that I don't see is why I can't add a document (lets say "class foobar")  to a Workflow without manually entering the first state name.

There is only one possible state after the 'No State', namely: 'New document'. From that state, some triggers will advance de document through workflow states and that is working fine.

I tried several configurations for state transitions, but keep getting the message 'The field ?State transition? must not be empty' when a document is added (while keeping state empty).

How can one add a document to a forced workflow, without entering the first state?

I'm proberly missing something obvious, hopefully someone can shine a light here.

  • I often use forced workflow on a document class without any trouble - they always pass on to the first state automatically. If you change a document's class to "foobar" it should also work automatically. If you had documents in the "foobar" class before you added the workflow and set it as "forced" then you may have to go back to those documents and add the workflow manually. I haven't seen problems in that situation either.
    Automatic transition is not necessary from No State to the first possible state, it will happen by default
