    Use case

    A typical use case of this workflow is to increment a number field by one during a transition. Consider a use case where you want to track the number of times a bug fix was rejected by the QA team. To configure this:

    1. Create a Rejection counter numerical custom field.

    2. Add the Increase value of field post-function to the Reject transition of the Bug workflow.

    3. Select the Rejection counter field.

    See here for more use cases.
