Adding a custom workflow status


In this recipe, we will make modifications to the previous state machine workflow to show a custom workflow status during the state transition.

Getting ready

Since this recipe is a modification of the Creating state machine workflow recipe, you should have successfully completed that one to follow this recipe.

How to do it...

Open the StateMachineWorkflow solution if it is closed.

    <MetaData>
          <AssociationCategories>List</AssociationCategories>
      
          <StatusPageUrl>_layouts/WrkStat.aspx</StatusPageUrl>
          <ExtendedStatusColumnValues>
            <StatusColumnValue>Manager Review</StatusColumnValue...
