Help with merging automation rules

Hi @Eric Roetenberg 

Use a workflow restriction to block the transition silently, or a workflow validator to provide user feedback. See examples below.

Hello @Eric Roetenberg 

You can leave the From status blank and set only the to Done as suggested @Lalithesh  , so the rule captures transitions from any status.

With this automation approach, the issue is moved to Done first and only then reverted. This unnecessarily consumes an automation execution and adds two transitions to the issue history.

In my view, if you are a Jira instance administrator, the cleaner solution is :
Identify all the workflows concerned and add a validator to every relevant transition to Done 

with an error message such as:

“Story Points must be filled in before the issue can be moved to Done.”

You could also add a transition screen containing the Story Points field. 

This blocks the transition  and avoids maintaining a global automation rule with complex conditions.

Hi @Eric Roetenberg 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If your goal is to transition the work item back to the previous status from Done, then you can achieve it by using this smart value {{changelog.status.fromString}}

1. Trigger: Work item transitioned
   From Status: Leave this blank, To status: Done
2. Condition: Add conditions based on your requirement
3. Action: Transition work item
   Add {{changelog.status.fromString}}
4. Action: Add comment (if required)

This will automatically revert the status to the previous stage.

Hope this helps :)

Cheers!
