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 here it says that this branch is out-of-date with the base branch so is the issue still open and if yes can I work on this ?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

[brianteeman]

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

Tested this on Joomla 5.1 alpha 4 There is no option to select no workflow. The first workflow stage in the list automatically selected. There's a translation issue with com_workflow_basic_stage.
