Create opportunity from separate entity and automatically navigate business process flow stage

Currently the client uses the opportunity business process flow with 9 stages.

They have requested a new custom entity named 'Proposal' that includes a ribbon button that, when pushed, creates a new opportunity record with copied over fields, that is automatically sets stage 5 to be the active stage.

My issue is, I'm unsure the best approach for implementing this change. I have no problem with creating new records using javascript, but it is automatically setting the opportunity to stage 5 that is giving me trouble.

Would anyone have any guidance that could point me in the right direction what is the best way to set this up.

The order of customization methods that would be most ideal for me would be:

1. Workflows

2. Javascript

3. Power Automate

4. C# plugin

Thanks
