Hi Tim, Thanks for this response! For use cases, I would find it helpful to have in process workflow items exportable as a way of tracking what’s going on with items that are in process, and/or that have been orphaned. When we were running DSpace 5.3, there was no way for an administrator to even see broadly what was happening, and what workflow items *were* in process. We have a number of items that have been hanging out in that space, and this is the first time that I've actually been able to see them.
My hope is that I can work on cleaning those up, and then not have so many sitting around -- but I would find it very helpful to be able to check and export a CSV periodically, just to check in with folks who use the workflow setup. Does that make sense as a use case?
