Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

Hi,

I would like to customize my workflow so that some transitions could be invalidated depending on the context.
Use case:

• Let's say my classic workflow is made of 4 states : {A} {B} {C} {D}

• Let's say I have another transitional status "Z" that could be reached from statuses "B" and "C": {B} [Z] or {C} [Z]

• Being in "Z" status, I want to be able to go back to "B" or "C" ( {Z} {B} or {Z} {C} ) but I want to restrict my workflow so that I only can transit from Z to C if the previous status was C – same thing for B)

• So I want to authorize {B} {Z}{B} or {C}{Z}{C}

• But I want to forbid {B} {Z}{C} and [C]{Z}{B}

I've been looking for a solution with plugin (but no event raises for transition list) or with custom functions but nothing seems appropriate except hacking the core of Mantis.

Any suggestion except duplicating Z status?
Thanks in advance
