    2525== Additional Ticket Workflows ==
    2626
    27 There are several example workflows provided in the Trac source tree; look in [trac:source:trunk/contrib/workflow contrib/workflow] for `.ini` config sections.  One of those may be a good match for what you want. They can be pasted into the `[ticket-workflow]` section of your `trac.ini` file.

They can be pasted into the `[ticket-workflow]` section of your `trac.ini` file. However if you have existing tickets then there may be issues if those tickets have states that are not in the new workflow.
    2828
    2929Here are some [http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/WorkFlow/Examples diagrams] of the above examples.
     
    5252 - del_resolution -- Clears the resolution field
    5353 - set_resolution -- Sets the resolution to the selected value.
    54    - ''actionname''`.set_resolution` may optionally be set to a comma delimited list or a single value.
    55 {{{
    56 Example:
    57 
     54   - ''actionname''`.set_resolution` may optionally be set to a comma delimited list or a single value. Example:
     55     {{{
    5856resolve_new = new -> closed
    5957resolve_new.name = resolve
     
    6159resolve_new.permissions = TICKET_MODIFY
    6260resolve_new.set_resolution = invalid,wontfix
    63 }}}
     61     }}}
    6462 - leave_status -- Displays "leave as <current status>" and makes no change to the ticket.
    6563'''Note:''' Specifying conflicting operations (such as `set_owner` and `del_owner`) has unspecified results.
     
    9492And then open up the resulting `trac.pdf` file created by the script (it will be in the same directory as the `trac.ini` file).
    9593
     94An online copy of the workflow parser is available at http://foss.wush.net/cgi-bin/visual-workflow.pl
     95
    9696After you have changed a workflow, you need to restart apache for the changes to take effect. This is important, because the changes will still show up when you run your script, but all the old workflow steps will still be there until the server is restarted.

     116=== How to combine the `tracopt.ticket.commit_updater` with the testing workflow ===
     117
     118The [[trac:source:trunk/tracopt/ticket/commit_updater.py|tracopt.ticket.commit_updater]] is the optional component that [[TracRepositoryAdmin#trac-post-commit-hook|replaces the old trac-post-commit-hook]], in Trac 0.12.
     119
     120By default it reacts on some keywords found in changeset message logs like ''close'', ''fix'' etc. and performs the corresponding workflow action.
     121
     122If you have a more complex workflow, like the testing stage described above and you want the ''closes'' keyword to move the ticket to the ''testing'' status instead of the ''closed'' status, you need to adapt the code a bit.
     123
     124Have a look at the [[trac:wiki:0.11/TracWorkflow#How-ToCombineSVNtrac-post-commit-hookWithTestWorkflow|Trac 0.11 recipe]] for the `trac-post-commit-hook`, this will give you some ideas about how to modify the component.
    115125
    116126== Example: Add simple optional generic review state ==
     
    153163leave.default = 1
    154164leave.operations = leave_status
    155 reassign = new,assigned,reopened -> new
     165reassign = new,assigned,accepted,reopened -> assigned
    156166reassign.operations = set_owner
    157167reassign.permissions = TICKET_MODIFY
     
    199209== some ideas for next steps ==
    200210
    201 New enhancement ideas for the workflow system should be filed as enhancement tickets against the `ticket system` component.  If desired, add a single-line link to that ticket here.  Also look at the [th:wiki:AdvancedTicketWorkflowPlugin] as it provides experimental operations.

    203213If you have a response to the comments below, create an enhancement ticket, and replace the description below with a link to the ticket.

    219229 * Actions should be selectable based on the ticket type (different Workflows for different tickets)
    220 ''Look into the [th:wiki:AdvancedTicketWorkflowPlugin]'s `triage` operation.''
     230''Look into the [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AdvancedTicketWorkflowPlugin AdvancedTicketWorkflowPlugin]'s `triage` operation.''
     231
     232 * I'd wish to have an option to perform automatic status changes. In my case, I do not want to start with "new", but with "assigned". So tickets in state "new" should automatically go into state "assigned". Or is there already a way to do this and I just missed it?
     233''Have a look at [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TicketCreationStatusPlugin TicketCreationStatusPlugin] and [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TicketConditionalCreationStatusPlugin TicketConditionalCreationStatusPlugin]''
     234
     235 * I added a 'testing' state. A tester can close the ticket or reject it. I'd like the transition from testing to rejected to set the owner to the person that put the ticket in 'testing'. The [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AdvancedTicketWorkflowPlugin AdvancedTicketWorkflowPlugin] is close with set_owner_to_field, but we need something like set_field_to_owner.
     236
     237 * I'd like to track the time a ticket is in each state, adding up 'disjoints' intervals in the same state.
