The steps are as follows: In workflow, Create a global transition to the ‘On Hold’ status Now from ‘On Hold’ status create another transition to every other status you want to come back to. Since the transition names cannot be the same, just add a blank space at the end of it. Now you don’t want the status transition from the ‘On Hold’ and ‘Done’ to ‘On Hold’ So you will hide the other status “On Hold” by adding the value field condition on the global transition.
