How to go return to previous step and status from a global transition

[Dr Mis]

Hi,

We added a new status called "Blocked" and in a workflow we added this status with the "Allow all statuses to transition to this one" – which I think means that we added a Global Transition.

Now, in order to get out of this status and return to the previous status as well as the stage, what is an easy way to do this?

I understand, it was just hint not answer.

Hi Joezef, thank you for your response. That looks a paid plugin. We want a solution that does not require us to install another plugin ideally just for this one feature request. We already have two workflow plugins: JIRA Misc Workflow and Script Runner. So, was hoping we can make use of these instead of another plugin. I have read online that you can add Groovy scripts in Script runner and was hoping someone might have already implemented it.

The easiest way IMO is to use add-on Undo Transition - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/nl.avisi.jira.plugins.undo-transition-plugin
