Upgrade breaks extension

I am moving a wiki from Foswiki 1.1.9 on Centos 6.5 to Foswiki 2.1.6 on Ubuntu 18.04

I used to copy and convert option (convert_charset.pl) and the wiki itself seems to be working fine.

However, the WorkflowPlugin is broken in the following ways;

Workflow is Set WORKFLOW = DocumentApprovalWorkflow and the status is displayed as; #{ }##{ }##{ }##{ }# #{ }##{ }# when using | Status | %WORKFLOWSTATEMESSAGE{"%BASETOPIC%"}% |

And the review date is blank when using | Review Due | %SEARCH{"REVIEW" topic="%BASETOPIC%" nonoise="on" format="$pattern(.*?ACTION{[^}]*\bdue=.([-A-Za-z0-9 ]*)[^}]*}. ?REVIEW.)"}% |

%ACTION{ created="2015-02-09" due="2020-06-30" bla bla bla }%REVIEW %ENDACTION%

This seems to be a bug introduced in the latest version of the WorkflowPlugin, i.e. in its templates such as https://github.com/foswiki/WorkflowPlugin/blob/master/templates/workflowstrings.tmpl. Removing those #{ ...}# lines would be the quick fix as far as I can see.

Needs a bug report followup under Tasks.WebHome.
