You’ve hit my Jira pet peeve, kinda - accepting the default of naming the transition the exact same as the state it goes to.

Transitions should be verbs. States should be adjectives.

So your transition should have been called “Cancel” so your modal would have had 2 cancel buttons :D

(Or yes, another term should have been picked!)




Yes Cancel and Cancel would have made no sense, and I think that should have told someone that Cancelled is an awful state name.
