workflow migration - telling me I need to change states but there are no tickets in that type

[peter.moore]

I'm migrating to an existing worfklow for sub-type.  When I do that it's asking me what fields that don't exist in that old workflow should be translated to.  I understand that but does JIRA simply show me every state that needs translating or does it indicate at least one sub-type has that state?  

I ask because it's tell me I need to translate a state but I can't find any sub-tasks in that state that would need translating

The migration screen is not incredibly clever.  If it detects any issue that needs a status change during a migration, it lists the whole lot, not just the ones that actually change.

You can simply ignore any status change where 0 issues are affected, it does at least tell you that in the screen.
