Create Version with Custom Label and Description via Workflow Activate?

Question

Is it possible, when activating a page via a Workflow, create a version but use a custom Label and Description?  By default my understanding is that when you run a page through a Workflow and Activate the page then a version is automatically created but auto increments the version label (#) and doesn't allow adding a custom description for the label.

As smacdonald2008​ had mentioned you can create a custom workflow step instead of using the ActivatePageProcess:1. Create the custom workflow step as documented here.2. Call the Replicator service's method Replicator.replicate​ and set ReplicationOptions.setSuppressVersions(true)3. Now the activation itself won't create the version, in your custom code before calling Replicator.replicate you can call PageManager.createRevision to instead create a version of the page with your custom label.
