Resetting an event

I changed a few things about the “Reset” action on a calendar event (in Lino Voga):

• It now asks for a confirmation

• It is no longer defined as a transition on EntryStates.suggested but as a “real” action.

• It is now available only on automatic events.

I tend to consider the concept of “workflow actions” as deprecated. This idea came from Plone and was based on the assumption that you can represent “workflow” using a single database field representing a well define “state”. But reality turns out to be more complex.

• New site attribute lino.core.site.Site.workflows_module.

• Lino no longer executes any setup_workflows callable.
