How To Configure a Cancellation Workflow for an Issue Category

Creating a "cancellation workflow" for Issues will allow you to close out any duplicate or no longer needed issues. This helps prevent you from needing to delete the item from the application. Please follow the steps below to create a cancellation workflow. This configuration will need to be completed while the Issue category is in a "draft" state. If the Issue category is "active", a new version needs to be created by clicking "Create New Version" :

6. Add new transitions to the "Issue Cancelled" Stage in all stages within the workflow and select "Save". By doing so, users have the ability to cancel the Issue, if needed, during any stage of the workflow:
