I have a situation where I have many content types. They all have the same workflow and actions for them. It is a painful process to update each content type with the actions. Since they are all the same, it would be good if there was an easy way to either 1) indicate that all content types have the same actions, or 2) easily "copy" all the actions from one content type to another.
Another alternative would be a better interface so that all changes happen upon one submit rather than having to submit for each action. Perhaps a bunch of check boxes and a submit button at the bottom. I assume that would be a change to the actions interface, though, and not the workflow module. And, it still wouldn't be as handy as having the features mentioned above.

smartinm commentedHi Kristen Pol,
I attach a patch that add funtionaly to indicate that all content types have the same actions:
#1056140: New global actions (actions for any content type with workflow)
Please, try it out, and check if it solves your problem as well.

kristen polI'm just seeing that your patch is available... unfortunately, none of my current projects are using the Workflow module so I can't test. Hopefully someone else can!

Bastlynn commentedWe are looking to do some major upgrades to the UI in the next branch of Workflow, so I'm going to keep this need in mind as we work on that. For the moment though it doesn't look like there's more to follow up on for you Kristen. Should you need it in the future, the patch will work I think, and if you need it far enough in the future there should be a fix for it in Workflow proper. Thanks for your patience with this.
