Ouch, great. I wasn't able to find it in documentation. Where this could
be on wiki?

Well. It is not working in my case. I wanted to invoke
interaction_workflow to be done after clone, so I've made it with
context.edit(), but it raises unauthorized exception - workflow script
is not able to edit object. Well, I'll have to create same functionality
outside of interaction_workflow script, it is acceptable.

I was trying to catch Sale Order creation. So I've attached interaction
workflow to Sale Order portal type and Sale Order Module portal type to
functions [_]manage_after{Add,Clone} but none of this combination works.
Container for Sale Order is Sale Order Module, yes? That's how I do
understand it.

Thanks,
Luke
