How do I programmatically change the workflow status?

Question

It appears that, although Drupal 6 had workflow_transition(), that function is not available in Drupal 7.

Is there an equivalent function? If not, what else should I use?

Answer 1

workflow_transition() is a function implemented from the Workflow module, and it still is implemented in the Drupal 7 version of the module.

Drupal 6 code that used workflow_transition() would work in Drupal 7
without changing how that function is called.
