In workflow editing, both when editing diagrams and text, you have access to quickly sorting transitions without having to set each transition sequentially.
In the new view you will see a list of all the transitions that appear in the workflow, just move (up/down) the transitions using drag and drop on the below icon.
Now press the "Update" button, “Publish” workflow and that's it, all the transitions will be saved and automatically arranged in the Issue view according to the order you selected.
Transition sorting is from top to bottom, this is reflected in the transition position from left to right in the Issue view. |

Pasting between different environments / instancesRequirements:
How it’s works: With every copy, the plugin saves functions/transitions into system clipboard and application clipboard. Every time when you try paste functions, the plugin first checks the system clipboard, if it does not find the correct string in it, then check the application clipboard. The same behavior regarding checking the clipboards also applies to the clipboard preview. |
