It seems, the interface changed and the toStatus method was removed.
https://docs.liferay.com/ce/portal/7.2-latest/javadocs/portal-kernel/com/liferay/portal/kernel/workflow/WorkflowConstants.html
I would try:
WorkflowStatusManagerUtil.updateStatus(WorkflowConstants.STATUS_APPROVED, workflowContext);

Hi Tushar Patel,

Regarding two level approval workflow, I have used your code in liferay 7.2 CE. Approvals has been done, But the content is not published. Still its showing pending status. In console I am getting the below error. Did I missed anything ?

Caused by: com.liferay.portal.kernel.scripting.ScriptingException:No signature of method: static com.liferay.portal.kernel.workflow.WorkflowConstants.toStatus()is applicable for argument

a longer workflow than single-approver workflow

2014-03-31T00:31:39Z

hi, guys.
i want to create a longer workflow than single-approver workflow. In other words, i want to have a second level of review before an item is approved, it means that i’d create a new task in between the review task and the approved state. And who can provide me this longer workflow definition XML file ?
thanks in advance!
