2285218 - Custom Relationship Type Support in EC Workflow

Symptom

The system picklist has been configured with custom relationship types (jobRelType) beyond the standard relationship types (HR Manager, Second Manager, Matrix Manager, Additional Manager and Custom Manager). All job relationship types, including custom types are displayed in the drop down list associated with the Job Relationship porlet, however, when attempting to assign a custom relationship in the workflow setup for the Contributor or CC with "Role Type" set to "Role" you find only the standard relationship types display.

Are custom relationship types supported in workflow contributer and CC steps?
