Can you transition an issue to the same state?

unknown

My goal is to allow a transition from state X to state X, as that would re-trigger some automation I have set up.

It seems like even though I have a Any -> State X transition set up, I am still not given the option to change to it when the issue is in that state. Is it possible to achieve somehow?

Yes, it is possible.

You have to create a special transition from that state to the same state. This is referred to as a Looping or Self-reflecting transition.

That is mentioned in the following reference:

Okay, I added an explicit transition from the state to itself, but for some reason I still am not seeing it as a possible state on the issue when I try to switch?

Are you working with a Team Managed project or a Company Managed project?

If it is a Company Managed project, did you Publish the new workflow?

Did you refresh the issue screen after publishing the new workflow?

Did you change the workflow that applies to the issue type you are viewing?

Can you show us the Workflow configuration; both the diagram and the Text representation?

unknown

It's a team managed project. I updated the workflow, don't think there's anything else I can do with it. I have refreshed the issue screen. I have changed the workflow, here are some screenshots to display what the problem is:

I can't transition from dev deployment -> dev deployment, but when I click view workflow this is what I see:
