What does the number next to that status transition mean?

[Zaldy Parian]

When editing/viewing a workflow, there are numbers next to the transition name. What do that numbers represent?

Hi Zaldy,

It's actually the ID of the transition. It can be used in post functions and other such things when using add-ons like JMWE and ScriptRunner.

Excellent.

Hi @Zaldy Parian ,

The order in which the transition steps are displayed, e.g. when there are multiple transition steps, the first option is done and the second option is cancel.

Hi @Ollie Guan ,

Thanks for your reply. 

In this snippet, the status have 4 possible transitions from Draft before it can go to Planning status. But as show below, Move to Planning transition has 11 next to it. And Change Manager Option has 471. The numbers do not add up or I could not trace it back.

Anyway, this is just trival and for my own info only. I won't loose sleep with this.
I appreciate your response. Thanks and enjoy your day.

Cheers.

Hi @Zaldy Parian ,

@John Funk gives a clearer explanation.

Under normal circumstances, these serial numbers are displayed in the order you created them. This is a global parameter, not just for a specific Workflow.

In addition, the order of transitions can be manually configured in workflow properties, if you need to make further adjustments.
