State-machine Rules per Issue Type multiple levels
Hi is it possible that state-machine per issue Type can work on only for this secondary field but on a third lvl also?
If i use the state-machine for State and Types it is clear as explained. How can i use it for if i want to have per Subsystem different state machine? A "wrapper" rule should be used? another state machine could call the previous state machine ?
Is it maybe something to be in plan for the future?

Hi!

No, unfortunately, you can't use multiple state machines for the same fields or create a 3+ level state machine rule. We don't have plans to adjust the state machine functionality at the moment. The closest thing we may implement in the future is the following: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JT-24315/Dependencies-between-fields. The main drawback here is that such functionality poses a significant UI and UX challenge. It can bring more confusion than help, given the overall complexity of the feature.

Just a small remark here — those should not be specifically State and Type fields, any enumerated fields will do.
