When we have many content types and they all have the same actions for them, it is a painful process to update each content type with the actions.

I attach a patch that add new global actions, this actions happen when transitions occur for any content type with enabled workflow.

New actions are on admin/build/trigger/workflow:

  • Current actions: When %type moves from %state to %target_state.
  • Added actions: When any node moves from %state to %target_state.

Related issues:
#597820: A trigger for "When any node moves from (state 1) to (state 2)"
#387832: Allow all content types to have same workflow and actions (or easy way to copy actions from one content type to another)

I'm not sure I understand the need for this. And the "related" issues have been marked as "Won't fix."

Moving all remaining D6 issues to D7.
I can imagine this is helpful, i f at the same time the 'per content type' actions are removed.

New features for D7 are not processed anymore, (unless a patch is provided)
If the same request is valid for D8, please reopen this issue.
