 Description   

http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS/Defining+a+custom+workflow
There is something missing. How can I bind the the steps in the process definition to the registered WorkItemHandler?

How can I use the info.magnolia.module.workflow.jbpm.workitem.handler.CommandWorkItemHandler in workflow process?

Furthermore the filenames and paths are wrong: http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS/Workflow+configuration#Workflowconfiguration-Workflowfiles

Hi Frank,

Thank you for highlighting the inadequacies of the Worklow documentation. Permit me to change the ticket title to the slightly more neutral 'Workflow update'.

We are aware that more work is required here and have addressed the topic with our development staff. Nonetheless, your query about WorkItemHandlers has been passed on.

In the meantime - can you tell us exactly what kind of workflow you are implementing and how successful you are - as even this information could help us complete information that will otherwise remain
on a 'to do' list until time/resources become available.

Also, we value community contribs. As a forum and jira subscriber you should also be able to add a wiki page in relation. If you get your custom workflow running and wish to share a solution, that would be much appreciated!

Update - Maybe add a query to the Forum - as there may be useful community feedback from that channel also. Something like 'Anyone implemented a custom workflow in M5?"

See: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/forum/thread.html?threadId=d1b874ce-4f40-4c3e-a1fc-23f7b4b975c3&page=1
Development team is working an updated Workflow module scheduled for release prior to release of Magnolia 5.3. Further details will be available when the module finalised.

On http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS/Configuring+workflow+in+apps is explained how I can enable the workflow, but the dialog to enter the comment won't be shown. So I think I have to change the action configuration of every app, which should use the workflow. This is missing in the documentation.

As part of this task please document also the way on how to disable de/activation workflow, a valid use case currently documented for 5.0- branches only.
