What happened?

The import process for PDI does not set the run configuration for workflow tasks in a workflow.
When running an imported workflow with workflow actions an error occurs at each workflow action, because the line "<run_configuration>local</run_configuration>" is missing in the task. It gives the following error:

- ERROR: Error running action 'workflow' :
- ERROR: org.apache.hop.core.exception.HopException:
- You need to specify a workflow run configuration to execute this workflow

Right now, you have to edit each task and close it with OK to truly set the run configuration for the task.

Often <logext/> and <logfile/> get added too.

This probably depends on the imported version of PDI. The Hop importer replaces the "run_configuration" element, which does not exist for Job entry (PDI V7).

Job entry (PDI V7)

Job entry (PDI V9 )

Reproduced the problem using Apache Hop 2.11.0 Windows version when importing projects from PDI 9.3.0.0.
