How to move an issue to their latest status?

Question

I am creating a "Blocked" status over my workflow in jira. This status can be called by any status. However, I would like to provide a transition "Unblock" which must move the issue to the status it was right before I moved it to "Blocked" status.

Is there any way to do this easily? I didn't see any option of moving issues to latest status.

I'm working on Cloud version.

Regards.

Thanks!  I finally created the status blocked and I had to include conditions from each other statuses in order to get the latest status right after the blocked status has been selected.

This is the way to do this without using an extra plug-in

The best you can do is add transition from "blocked" back to each status an add-on to create conditions that check the issue history to work out the previous status and only allow that one transition
