Back and fourth transitions

Hello Team,

How can I create back-and-fourth transitions in the workflow using a single 2 way arrow transition.

If I need back and fourth transitions all I do is I create 2 transitions 

1) from A to B

2) from B to A

I think there is a way to create one transition and use it for both which I'm trying to figure out, see attached for more info. Highlighted in the square ox is what I'm trying to achieve.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi @Sravan Duddella,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

The only difference between 1 and 2 in your picture is that in 1 the two transitions are going to different points, so the outgoing transition from Finance.. is attached to the left point, and the incoming is attached to the right point. You can always move the endpoint to be the same for both the incoming and outgoing transitions so you get same as in 2.

Note that it is just a visual, having the incoming and outgoing transitions using the same end/start point has not functional effect.

There is no "two way" transition, you have to create two of them, one in each direction.

What made you think you could have a single bi-directional transition?  If it's the double-ended transition lines in the diagrams, they happen when the steps have an incoming and outgoing transition anchored to the same point on the status box.
