Can you try this.
- Create a two Option Field (Boolean)
- Create a custom JavaScript code that changes the value on the field and add it to a ribbon button trigger.
- Run WorkFlow on field change.
This works. Not sure if it is the best solution but it is a working one.
Good Luck :)

JavaScript to execute a workflow would look something like this - you will need to GUID of the workflow to be executed:
function ExecuteWorkflowSOAP() { var workflowId = "99999999-9999-9999-9999-999999999999"; var request = [ "<s:Envelope xmlns:s='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'>", "<s:Body>", "<Execute xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts/Services' xmlns:i='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'>", "<request i:type='b:ExecuteWorkflowRequest' xmlns:a='http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts' xmlns:b='http://schemas.microsoft.com/crm/2011/Contracts'>", "<a:Parameters xmlns:c='http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.Collections.Generic'>", "<a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>", "<c:key>EntityId</c:key>", "<c:value i:type='d:guid' xmlns:d='http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/'>" + Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId() + "</c:value>", "</a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>", "<a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>", "<c:key>WorkflowId</c:key>", "<c:value i:type='d:guid' xmlns:d='http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/'>" + workflowId + "</c:value>", "</a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>", "</a:Parameters>", "<a:RequestId i:nil='true' />", "<a:RequestName>ExecuteWorkflow</a:RequestName>", "</request>", "</Execute>", "</s:Body>", "</s:Envelope>" ]; var req = new XMLHttpRequest(); req.open("POST", Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc/web", true); try { req.responseType = 'msxml-document'; } catch (e) {} req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/xml, text/xml, */*"); req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8"); req.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts/Services/IOrganizationService/Execute"); req.onreadystatechange = function () {}; req.send(request.join("")); }
