Post-Function Condition: Check last Transition

Celik Vedat March 22, 2018

Hi all,

 

is there a way to set a post-function condition to check whether the last transition was e.g. "Start testing"

 

regards,

Hello Celik,

Why do you want to do this check?  If the workflow transition is progressed from e.g. Start testing to the next one, then what is the requirement for this condition?

Just imagine if you have implemented a status like "On Hold" where you can transition from different statuses e.g. "In Testing". If you're in testing and set the issue on hold for any reason you should continue progress in the testing status. By implementing this transition to "On Hold" from multiple statuses you migh do the wrong transition back. So you might go in the status "Review" instead of "In Testing". By having the condition as described there would be no other option than doing the "right" transition. Sure this is not the standard way of how an workflow progresses, but we require this in our case.

I know that you could implement this condition with an custom field by checking the value in a post-function, but I don't like this option :P
