Suppose I have two workflows:

Draft->Review->Publish

Draft->Review->Senior Review->Publish

The idea here is that some content is more sensitive than other content, so while many kinds of pages can be reviewed by a department head, some need to be approved higher up (the Dean's office, in our case).

However, if I set up two different workflows which have similar states, I get duplication of states, which makes organizing the workflows rather confusing. What I'd like to be able to do is have the option to select from previously existing states when adding a state to a new workflow. The transitions would still be defined per workflow, using wid in the workflow_transitions table rather than workflow_states.

Hi,

With the release of Drupal 7, Drupal 5 is no longer receiving security updates, reviews, or development from many contributed modules. Since 5 is now considered a depreciated version, you really should seriously look into upgrading to Drupal 6 or 7. The newer versions of Drupal work better, have more support, and will be safer (literally! security patches!) for your website. We are currently working on a new release for Workflow to Drupal 7. In light of that, further support for Drupal 5 issues is infeasible at the moment. Please consider upgrading to Drupal 6 or 7 in the near future - you'll be glad you did.

See #614408: support global workflow states.
In D7 you can better distinguish between same states of different workflows.
