    4141== Additional Ticket Workflows
    4242
    43 There are example workflows provided in the Trac source tree, see [trac:source:branches/1.4-stable/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. However, if you have existing tickets then there may be issues if those tickets have states that are not in the new workflow.

    4545Here are some [trac:WorkFlow/Examples diagrams] of the above examples.
     
    4949'''Note''': Ticket "statuses" or "states" are not separately defined. The states a ticket can be in are automatically generated by the transitions defined in a workflow. Therefore, creating a new ticket state simply requires defining a state transition in the workflow that starts or ends with that state.

    51 In the `[ticket-workflow]` section of `trac.ini`, each entry is an action that may be taken on a ticket.
     51In the `[ticket-workflow]` section of `trac.ini`, each entry is an action that may be taken on a ticket. 
    5252For example, consider the `accept` action from `simple-workflow.ini`:
    5353
     
    6969 - ''actionname''`.set_owner` may optionally specify a comma delimited list of users that will be used to populate the select, or a single user. Groups and permissions may also be included in the list //(Since 1.1.3)//. When groups or permissions are specified the select is populated with all members of the group or all users that possess the permission.
    7070- **set_owner_to_self** -- Sets the owner to the logged in user.
    71 - **may_set_owner** -- Sets the owner to the selected or entered owner. Defaults to the existing owner. //(Since 1.1.2)//.
     71- **may_set_owner** -- Sets the owner to the selected or entered owner. Defaults to the existing owner. //(Since 1.1.2)//. 
    7272- **del_resolution** -- Clears the resolution field.
    7373- **set_resolution** -- Sets the resolution to the selected value.

    104 The transition to `*` (`-> *`) means the workflow operation determines the next status. The only configurable ticket workflow operation that determines the next status is `leave_status`. However, another workflow controller can operate on an action with new status `*` and determine the next status.
    105 
    106104This also shows the use of the `.default` attribute. This value is expected to be an integer, and the order in which the actions are displayed is determined by this value. The action with the highest `.default` value is listed first, and is selected by default. The rest of the actions are listed in order of decreasing `.default` values.
    107105If not specified for an action, `.default` is 0. The value may be negative.
