Problem/Motivation

When deleting a moderation state there can still be revision that have been saved in that moderation state. If there are revision saved in that moderation state, and the moderation state is deleted, you will get an error when vising the revision log for that entity like this:

InvalidArgumentException: The state 'need_review' does not exist in workflow. in Drupal\workflows\Plugin\WorkflowTypeBase->getState() (line 155 of /code/web/core/modules/workflows/src/Plugin/WorkflowTypeBase.php).

    Based on #9 and #10 seems like it could still be a problem

    Issue is still present in 10.1.2

    An approach would be to default to the 'Default State' of the workflow in these instances. Or when deleting a state require the new state be selected and update all the revisions.

    I would prefer the later to avoid stale data being present. Removing the ability to delete states (if there are revisions in that state) is rather heavy handed and virtually guarantees that no state could ever be deleted, and would not reflect changes to human workflow.

    Hi

    I tried to reproduce the issue in Drupal 11. x but the issue is not reproducible in Drupal 11. x.

    I attached the screen recording, please review it.

    Please let me know if I made any mistakes.

    Thanks!!

    I confirm I have the same issue, I can delete the workflow state, and then the nodes that were using it have a broken revisions list page.
