Comala Workflows - Transition customizations

Hello,

I have created a 4 stage approval workflow using Comala Workflows. At each approval stage, the user has the choice of approve & reject buttons.

My team is requesting that at every state, a 3rd option is added to ‘cancel' the workflow.

The idea is that at any state, choosing the ‘Cancel’ button option would revert the entire workflow back to 'Draft' state.  In effect, this is a method for a user to cancel/abort the workflow.

To accomplish this, I have investigated the idea of adding a 3rd button called 'Cancel' - but it appears that the workflow functionality does not allow for this, unless I am misunderstanding.

I have also looked at creating a custom transition, but this is also very limited.

Can anyone recommend any alternatives or strategies to achieve the 'go to draft' routing?

The only method I have come across that could potentially work is via the ‘admin override’ (URL?admin=true), but this is also limited in terms of which users can perform it.  

Many thanks for any help or guidance here,
Rob
