Workflow based on ticket type
Description
This plugin controls what actions can be performed on a ticket. The actions are specified in the [ticket-workflow]
section of the TracIni file.
With MultipleWorkflowPlugin Trac can read the workflow based on the type of ticket. If a section for that ticket type doesn't exist, then it uses the default workflow, see Example below.
The plugin works with Trac 0.11, 0.12 and 1.0.
See also TypedTicketWorkflowPlugin, TracWorkflowAdminPlugin.
Workflow editing
For changing the workflows an admin page is available in the Ticket System section.
What's the difference to TypedTicketWorkflowPlugin?
With MultipleWorkflowPlugin you may have an exclusive workflow section for each ticket type like this:
[ticket-workflow] # Default workflow approve = new, reopened -> approved approve.operations = del_resolution ... [ticket-workflow-Foo] # Workflow for ticket type 'Foo' do_foo = new -> foo ... [ticket-workflow-Bar] # Workflow for ticket type 'Bar' do_bar = new -> bar ...
With TypedTicketWorkflowPlugin you specify restrictions for ticket types in the default workflow by adding them to the transitions:
[ticket-workflow] approve = new, reopened -> approved approve.operations = del_resolution # approve is only valid for ticket types 'defect' and 'feature' approve.tickettype = defect, feature ...
The former is easier to manage if you have several ticket types with vastly different workflows.

You can check out MultipleWorkflowPlugin from here using Subversion, or browse the source with Trac.
The trunk is compatible with Trac 1.2.x. The 1.3 branch is compatible with Trac 1.0.x.
Installation
Note: This plugin doesn't require Python package genshi
when using Trac 1.4+.
General instructions on installing Trac plugins can be found on the TracPlugins page.
Enable the plugin by adding the following to your trac.ini
file:
[components] multipleworkflow.* = enabled
Add the controller to the workflow controller list:
[ticket] workflow = MultipleWorkflowPlugin
Configuration
To use it you should have the [ticket-workflow]
section defined in your trac.ini
file. When a custom section for a ticket type has not been defined, that one will be used.
The following is an example of a custom ticket workflow and not necessarily a standard setup. To define a different workflow for a ticket with type Requirement
create a section in trac.ini
called [ticket-workflow-Requirement]
and add your workflow items:
[ticket-workflow-Requirement] leave = * -> * leave.default = 1 leave.operations = leave_status approve = new, reopened -> approved approve.operations = del_resolution approve.permissions = TICKET_MODIFY reopen_verified = closed -> reopened reopen_verified.name = Reopen reopen_verified.operations = set_resolution reopen_verified.set_resolution = from verified reopen_verified.permissions = TICKET_MODIFY reopen_approved = approved -> reopened reopen_approved.name = Reopen reopen_approved.operations = set_resolution reopen_approved.set_resolution = from approved reopen_approved.permissions = TICKET_CREATE remove = new, reopened, approved, closed -> removed remove.name = Remove this Requirement permanently remove.operations = set_resolution remove.set_resolution = removed remove.permissions = TICKET_MODIFY verify = approved -> closed verify.name = Verify the Requirement and mark verify.operations = set_resolution verify.set_resolution = verified verify.permissions = TICKET_MODIFY
This results in the following workflow:
