We have seen how to configure common transitions in the previous recipe. Global transitions in workflows are a similar useful feature. A global transition is a transition in which the destination step has all other steps in the workflow as incoming steps. That is, this transition will act as a transition from all steps to the destination step chosen in this transition, and you need to only modify in a single place if there is any change.
Creating a global transition is fairly easy using the workflow designer, and it is only supported in the diagram mode.
Let us take the example of Reject that we saw in the earlier recipe. What if we want to reject an issue from every single state in the workflow? In that case, it doesn't make sense to create common transitions as we will have to repeat those steps for every source status in the workflow.
Instead, we can create a single global transition to the Rejected status, as explained here:
