Yes, you do need to be careful when you design your new workflow that you provide all of the existing states in use and, if necessary, a way to trasition them to your appropriate new state. Apart from that it should be OK. You will need to restart the Trac instance to read the new workflow...
I guess you should not change the state names without good reason. For example, we basically kept the same states but added a new testing phase (based very closely on one of the stock examples). ~ mark c -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
