Defining global transitions? about workflow HOT 2 CLOSED

I had a similar desire. But, as you already said, the situation where
transition to the same state with exactly the same work to be done in
the callback of transition is rare.

Say, there are 8 different states, transition from :cancelled to
:cancelled is not desired and transition from :my_special_state to :cancelled
requires different actions then transition from other states.

Defining global transition (for 8 states) and then somehow declaring 2
exceptions from this global rule can become pretty messy.
In my opinion it is better to list the transitions explicitly repeating
the same line of source code 6 times - for every relevant state.

For me it is no redundancy and no violation of Rails' DRY principle.

Yeah, I agree... It replaces a mess by a messier mess. :)
