I have my computer set up with six workspaces permanently set up on the taskbar. I would like to have Evolution Calendar displayed on all six workspaces, not just on the primary workspace. I can right click on the Evolution icon in the panel and it gives me the option to have it visible on all workspaces, which works until I reboot, then only the primary workspace will display the calendar. Is there any way to get the calendar to "stick" on all workspaces, even after rebooting?

To ensure the safety of your data, you have to be proactive, not reactive, so, back it up!

I think it can be done with wmctrl. But then you probably have to do some scripting.
there is also package in the repository called "devilspie2" that can do what you want. But it requires creating some config file for it. I used the older devilspie (version 1) A couple of years ago. So I have no clue how well or how easy to use devilspie2 is.

Came here looking for this feature too, any luck?
I assume there is some way to do this since e.g. Firefox remembers in which workspace each window was after reboot. But maybe that's a Firefox feature rather than a Cinnamon feature...
I have xed 2.4.2 showing on all workspaces. After I reboot and open xed it is still set to show on all workspaces. It is the only app I have found that remembers how it was last set.

I managed to find a way to make a certain program always launch as Visible on all workspaces, see here: viewtopic.php?p=2180796#p2180796
I couldn't understand the directions. For starters, how do I find a window title? Do I paste the codes exactly or do I have to change something?

I think it's been established that there;s no simple GUI way to do this in Cinnamon.
Why in the hell can't you simply pin a window to all workspaces in such a large DE? I do it with smplayer all the time in KDE by clicking the pin button on the window title bar, and I'd be annoyed if I had to go to the panel to do this.

The window title is simply the text appearing on the bar at the top of the window - in most cases it's simply the app's name, or at least contains it. E.g. for WhatsApp Desktop it's simply "WhatsApp", but for the terminal it would be something like username@machinename . And for the text editor it's "Unsaved document #".
You need to check what is the current command for opening the app, and replace it with the code
For example in my case I use
