Set Project State

Overview

Normally your users will be in charge of changing the state of a project. However, there are times you might want to modify the state automatically. For example, if your project is automatically created in response to an room reservation request, you could have the workflow monitor the reservation and if it gets cancelled you can also cause the project to automatically be cancelled as well.

Send Notification

Normally when marking a project as completed a notification is sent to everybody that is watching the project. However, since you may be sending your own notifications you can disable the automatic notification process by setting this to False.
