Change the ID of workflow transition

Alon Erez

Hi,

Is it possible to change the id of a workflow transition ?

When I create a transition it automatically gets an id based on a number ( 1,11,21 ...). The numbers used are the same in each workflow, so the ID for a transition is not unique, but will be the sane for different projects using different workflows. So the transition open can have an id of action_id_11 in one project and action_id_21 in another.

Can this be changed ? Perhaps using the workflow XML file ?

Thanks,

Alon

Yes, you can export a workflow, change the IDs of transitions and re-import it. Not sure that there is any useful benefit in doing it, but it can be done.

Worked great using the XML export import.

The motivation is because in one project I'm using CSS to highlight specific transition buttons. I don't want them to be highlighted in projects using different workflow.

Thanks.

Ah, good.

I'd be trying to use something other than the ID, as it really is effectively a random number, but this works, and I'm an engineer (so "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" is instinctive)

I'll be happy to hear if you have an idea how to do this in a better way.

For now I have added css to the announcement banner:

I can't say I like the solution, but it works.
