End of the insertion ### Begin of the insertionAnalysis

In our cloud infrastructure, seeding fails for aws-de-vips5 in unexpected ways: in the non-tenant schema, for some reasons, there are no workflows in the database. When seeding happens, it tries to add the default workflows necessary for demo projects. When doing it looks up some reference it has not created and fails.

For aws-de-trials2, it seems to happen on tenants for the same reason. Investigation in progress.

###End of the insertion Steps to reproduce

1. Begin of the insertionfor aws-de-vips5

1. Seed a first time

2. Manually delete all workflows from database

3. Seed a second time => failure

2. for aws-de-trials2

1. investigation in progress


End of the insertion Begin of the deletion To be completed once understood and reproduced


End of the deletion ### What is the buggy behavior?

* Begin of the deletion For some tenants,End of the deletion seeding Begin of the insertionshould never failEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion failed with the error "Nothing registered with reference :default\_status\_new"End of the deletion


### What is the expected behavior?

1. Begin of the insertionEither fixEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion Seeding should go through without any errors, no matterEnd of the deletion the Begin of the insertionseeding for this particular case

2. Or disable seeding for non-tenant schema (public schema) to fix vips5 seedingEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion database state.End of the deletion
