@magnussinger hey! here it says that this branch is out-of-date with the base branch
so is the issue still open and if yes can I work on this ?

[magnussinger]

Hi @teekhandekar, you can always work on any issue if you want, and you don't need to ask for it. But in this case, I just had to merge the base branch into my branch, so it wasn't much to do.

@magnussinger can you rebase the pr to the 4.2-dev branch as it is a new feature?

[magnussinger]

Sure

Sorry but this is not correct.

1. Instead of the sql field why not use the existing workflowstage field type. This has numerous advantages especially when there is more that one workflow on the site
2. You are not checking to see if the site is using workflows before display the stage field

Not sure how anyone was able to test this successfully. There are several problems that I see when testing it

1. The filter for workflow stage is displayed even when workflows is not enabled
2. If you have multiple workflows then the selection list does not differentiate them
3. The default Basic Workflow has only one stage but it is displayed as a language constant not a language value

Looking back at all the previous comments I see that I am not the first to report the problems with this PR. It should never have been marked as RTC
