If I use the action button to set an entity’s state to final using `fibery.setStateToFinal` what happens if there is more than workflow state for which ‘Final’ is true?

Hi, Chris!  
Sorry for the long answer  
Well, it will select a random one and will throw an error at you. Never thought about this situation, telling the truth, and not sure about expected behaviour for this case 🙂

I would expect first match when picking, and when checking `true` if any.

To get around the above problem, I would instead add a boolean to the state to check against. I am actually doing this as we have two complete states: completed and archived.

In this case it would make sense that `final` match the first, which is Completed as it’s before Archived. Then for checking Archived state, I check for a “Archived” boolean on the states.
