Defined in packages/workflow/tcl/state-procs.tcl

Creates a new state for a certain FSM (Finite State Machine) workflow.

Switches:

-workflow_id

(required)

The id of the FSM workflow to add the state to

-internal

(boolean) (optional)

Set this flag if you're calling this proc from within the corresponding proc for a particular workflow model. Will cause this proc to not flush the cache or call workflow::definition_changed_handler, which the caller must then do.

-short_name

(optional)

If you leave blank, the short_name will be generated from pretty_name.

-pretty_name

(required)

-hide_fields

(optional)

A space-separated list of the names of form fields which should be hidden when in this state, because they're irrelevant in a certain state.

-sort_order

(optional)

The number which this state should be in the sort ordering sequence. Leave blank to add state at the end. If you provide a sort_order number which already exists, existing states are pushed down one number.

-parent_action

(optional)

Which action with trigger_type 'workflow' does this state belong to.

Returns:

ID of new state.
