Filter by Container within workflow to include subcontainers by default

Currently when setting up a workflow, all subcontainers must be selected where a container filter is being used. Where a new container is created, this must be manually added to the workflow, which takes time and is often forgotten. This has resulted in documents missing workflows on some of our projects. If subcontainers were added by default, this would speed up time both in workflow creation and reduce the amount of administration needed.

    This is possible by right clicking on the parent container and selecting > Select all child containers whilst configuring container filters in the Workflow configuration pop-up.
