03/05/2021, 9:48 AMIs there a limit to how many transiitions a state can have? I have a transition that NS doensn't seem to detect because when I check the transaction(JE) log, it is the only transition not listed as being considered as if the transition didn't exist at all.

03/05/2021, 1:52 PMAre you talking about the specific transition or the entire workflow? And what is the basis of this suggestion?

03/05/2021, 1:54 PMBecause I've tried stuff like that in the past and it has worked

03/05/2021, 1:55 PMAlright I'll try it out. Any insight on why this happens? And is there a limit or a recommended number of transitions a state should have?

03/05/2021, 1:58 PMNo idea why it happens. Normally frustrates me to no end because it's my last resort

03/05/2021, 1:58 PMHow many transitions are you working with?
KevinJ of Kansas
03/05/2021, 1:59 PMI have had issues in the past with mutually exclusive transition criteria not working quite right
KevinJ of Kansas
03/05/2021, 1:59 PMI.e. Using the same field as criteria for 3 transitions

03/05/2021, 2:00 PMFrom the first state it has 7 possible transitions. The first six gets logged fine in the transaction workflow log. The 7th I actually added late and haven't tested a lot but it's very sinilar to the other transitions. They all have user role conditions.

03/05/2021, 2:03 PMThe only thing that bugs me is it isn't considered at all in the workflow log as if it's invisible. But I'll try recreating it tom hope it works

03/05/2021, 6:31 PMwhen looking at the workflow logs did you check the "show rejected actions"

03/06/2021, 2:10 AMI tried recreating it @KevinJ of Kansas but it still didn't work. However, I got it to work by changing the order of the transitions inside the first state. Seems like since I added the 7th transition late, it was at the bottom of the transition list. Does this mean that there is actually an order to how SuiteFlow checks the transitions? Before I edited it the Approved transition(6th) was before my 7th transition which I'm thinking is the reason the 7th wasn't showing up in the log because it already recognized the 6th state as True.
