Summary

• When adding post functions to a workflow transition, it is possible to choose the "Copy Value From Other Field" function.
• This function does not allow you to select the Status field as the one to be copied (Source), which should be allowed.
• However, this field should not be allowed as a Destination as it does not behave as a regular Jira field. Such an operation could result in an inconsistency in the database tables.
• Status also represents the position of an issue in its workflow. For further information, check this documentation.
