EW is not supported on the Forgejo backend. From the docs:

Note: Editorial workflow works with GitHub repositories, and supports GitLab and Bitbucket.

I relabelled this issue to a feature request.

Edit: My bad; support for Forgejo/Codeberg was added recently, as you mentioned. I totally forgot about that!

@razzeee, you added this in #7726, could you take a look?

@thadd can you test #7976 ?

[thadd]

@razzeee I have to get set up to use a specific branch since I only use the release versions but I will do that and test tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for taking a look at this!

@razzeee That did fix things! I couldn't use your fork directly, I had to merge in main because there was an error on loading the CMS. Once I did that, it's working exactly as I expected.

Thank you
