Development notes

Although personalizationActivation is set in configuration /modules/workflow/commands/workflow/activateLiveCopy, which points at mgnl:componentVariants as itemType, activate command from versioned catalog is set explicitly in info.magnolia.liveCopy.workflow.workitem.PublishLinkedResourcesWorkItemHandlerDefinition and info.magnolia.liveCopy.workflow.workitem.PublishLinkedResourcesWorkItemHandler.

1. By setting catalog and commandName properties to workflow and activateLiveCopy in /modules/livecopy/workItemHandlers/publishLinkResources nothing changes(restarting the server as required by work item handlers configuration)
2. Creating custom classes to replace info.magnolia.liveCopy.workflow.workitem.PublishLinkedResourcesWorkItemHandlerDefinition and{{info.magnolia.liveCopy.workflow.workitem.PublishLinkedResourcesWorkItemHandler}} neither work although workflow and activateLiveCopy are explicitly set.
