Use case: set status back to previous value if some values are not met
I am able to get the previous issue by using the When: value changes (Status)
And able to capture it with {{fieldChange.from}} / {{fieldChange.fromName}} and store in a variable
What I am not able to do is transition the new state to the value in the variable.
