Transition from automation failed

[Leon Kunst]

Hi guys,

Got a weird issue.

Automation that'll change the state of an issue. However it says:

The destination status could not be resolved or has no valid transition rule (with current status):
WEBSUPPORT-372 (Geannuleerd - 10033)

However, i'm really sure the transition exsists:

It should go from 'Geannuleerd' to 'Heropend'. When i'm editing the issue, i can DO select the 'Heropend' state while the current state is 'Geannuleerd'.

What's going on?

Hi @Leon Kunst 

Welcome to the community.

Are there any Conditions or Validators on the transition "Heropenen"?

Can you also share images of you automation rule?

[Leon Kunst]

Thank you!

And indeed, there are zero validators:

• Properties (0)

• Triggers (0)

• Conditions (0)

• Validators (0)

• Post Functions (5)

It was originally a system rule, but I’ve changed the status to "Reopened".

When I export the workflow to XML, the transition does exist:

Hi @Leon Kunst 

I think you need to make the rule from scratch.

Can you do this and then action the required action again?

[Leon Kunst]

Yeah, it worked. Thanks!
