How do transition IDs work?

Markus_ct0073

If i create a new workflow are the Transition IDs unique for this workflow or is the connection between Statuses general for your JIRA?

Like i have the transition Open->In Progress with the transition ID 55 in one workflow, will this transitionID be the same in another workflow with the transition Open-> In Progress or will it get another transitionID?

Transition IDs are locally unique, and nothing to do with the status or steps they move you between.

If you create a workflow via project creation, you'll find each workflow has the same id for the transitions.  But if you create the workflow by hand, even if it's identical, you will find the transitions have different ids, mostly determined by the order in which you added them.

Your transition 55 will be the same in copied workflows, and workflows you create using the same template.  But once you start editing the workflows, it might not be the same.  It might be the same in other workflows, but is more likely to be different or not even exist.
