Pimcore: [Workflows] Initial place of single_state workflows does not get saved in database

[BlackbitNeueMedien]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create Class ABC with input field workflowState
2. Create workflow which supports Pimcore\Model\DataObject\ABC and has initial place started, and set

marking_store:
      type: single_state
      arguments:
         - workflowState

1. Create object of class ABC and publish it

Expected behaviour: Field workflowState should contain started
Current behaviour: Field workflowState is empty

Tested in Pimcore 6.3.3

Any update on this? We can confirm the issue with Pimcore v6.6.6.

⚠️ As of Symfony >= v4.4.8 this will cause an Exception now when any workflow aware data object is loaded with empty place through the DataObjectController::getAction

See their patch here: https://github.com/symfony/symfony/pull/36375/files where they switched to strict comparison.

Diff: https://github.com/symfony/symfony/compare/v4.4.7...v4.4.8

Steps

• using Pimcore >= v6.6.3 and Symfony >= 4.4.8
• have a workflow using single_state as marking store + initial_place is defined
• creating new object for that workflow will show UI error message:

Expected

Pimcore to set the initial place upon object create.

Workaround

lock symfony/symfony at v4.4.7 (not a real solution)
