Central to the use of the workflow plugin are the state and transition tables. There is a problem in that if you define the state transition table like this:

State	Action	Next State	Allowed	Form
NEWITEM	It's a prospect	PROSPECT	SpiTopGroup

Then the workflow plugin will never allow transition between the NEWITEM state and the PROSPECT state. The " ' " seems to be the culprit here.

The work round is, obviously not to use " ' " in the transition table - however I am classifying this as an urgent bug because, not only does it stop the workflow plugin from working properly, it also gives absolutely no clues as to what the error might be. I just wasted more than an hour trying to figure this one out!

The plugin uses "roll your own" HTML rather then using CGI functions, and doesn't escape parameter values frown

Confirmed.
