February 18th 2021

Workflows can now be edited to add a select transition to a state.

Each individual state can be configured to allow users to use the workflow popup to choose a destination state and transition the workflow to this state.

One or more options for the destination state are displayed in the dropdown menu in the workflow popup.

The destination state options displayed in the popup are configured using the transition editor in workflow builder.

The select transition cannot be used

• in a state with an approval

• in a final state

A select transition can be added to a state together with an expired transition and an updated transition.

A select transition will not be available to add to a state with an approval added - the transitions editor will only display the approved, rejected, updated and expired transition options.

Adding an approval to a state with a previously added select transition will replace the Submit option on the workflow popup on the content with the Approve and Reject buttons.
