How to prevent the transition to a status that has "Allow all statuses to transition to" from a spec

[Samuel Bar]

In my Workflow, I have a status marked as "Allow all statuses to transition to this one".
I would like to block the option to transition to this status from a specific status in the workflow, without the need of creating a specific transition from all the rest of the statuses

Thank you all for your advice.
I have found a solution.
Because I want to prevent the transition from Close I can use the resolution field and add a condition to the transition, the resolution will be set to "close" when the status is changed to Close so I can add the condition
Resolution = Empty

Hi @Samuel Bar ,

If you have JWME plugin, you can add a condition that checks for the current status of the issue. That can be used to restrict Global Transitions to certain statuses.

Using script runner, you can add a simple scripted condition like if you want to restrict the transition from done, then you can use

issue.status.name != "Done" on the workflow transition.

Thanks @Niranjan  but I am looking for a solution without the need of buying a plugin

One way is to use the postfunction from JMWE plugin that sets the condition (in turn visibility) on the transition to the list of statuses -> https://innovalog.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWE/pages/171016204/Current+Status+Condition

@Samuel Bar  Unfortunately this is not achievable in JIRA with out a plugin.

I would then suggest you to have individual transitions to the target instead of using a shared transition.
