Using common transitions
Often, you will have transitions that need to be made available from several different
statuses in a workflow, such as the
Resolve
and
Close
transitions. In other words, these are
transitions that have a common destination status but many different originating statuses.
To help you simplify the process of creating these transitions, JIRA lets you reuse an exist-
ing transition as a common transition if it has the same destination status.
Note
Common transitions
are transitions that have the same destination status but different ori-
ginating statuses.
A common transition has an additional advantage of ensuring that transition screens and
other relevant configurations, such as validators, will stay consistent. Otherwise, you will
have to constantly check the various transitions every time you make a change to one of
them.
