[Zope] manage_changeWorkflow question - solved

[David Pratt]

Solved this after trying more things. Here is what I used:

        # Modify workflow chain (Workflow by type)
         
workflow_tool.manage_changeWorkflows(default_chain='default_workflow',
                                                                         
props=({'chain_Image':'image_workflow','chain_Folder':'', 
'chain_Topic':''}),
                                                                         
REQUEST=None)

Regards,
David
