> ## Description
> 
> <span style="color: #091e42">The Status Change precondition checks if status of the issue will be changed when executing the current transition. This condition is useful to prevent </span>[Any]<span style="color: #091e42"> status transitions from being displayed when the transition does not change the current issue status (i.e. a transition </span>[Start Progress] <span style="color: #091e42"> when the status is currently </span>[In Progress] <span style="color: #091e42">).</span>
> 
> ## Configuration

> ### Example
> 
> A From Any Status workflow transition is configured so that the Start Progress transition will change the status from any issue status to [in progress] . The From Any Status transition will be available in all statuses, however, you may want to prevent the 'Start Progress' transition from being displayed when the issue is already in the status 'In Progress'. When adding the 'Status Changed Condition' the 'Start Progress' transition will not be available when the issue is in the status 'In Progress'.
