It would be great when viewing the Workflow tab to see a transition from "creation" state to the initial state. Currently if it's sitting in the first state, there's no indication of when it was created on the history overview. The concept of "creation" as a state exists, so this should be possible.

Actually, I think this is primarily an issue when you have a Workflow Field on an item and select the workflow upon creation. If you were to execute the following I think the state does display in history:

  1. Create enitity with no workflow assigned
  2. Edit entity, select a workflow

It seems like these steps shouldn't be necessary to show the (creation) -> First state transition if you leapfrog it by selected a state from the get-go.

This is an error. It should work the way you wish. I can reproduce the error if I have a 'hidden' workflow widget on the node form. Is that the case in your situation. (The widget (aka workflow transition form) can be shown in a block, the workflow tab, the view mode or the form mode, and on a comment.)

Thanks for this catch.
The same problem occurs when you use the 'select' or 'radios' widget: no transition was logged.
