Accepted, Not Yet Planned

It is possible to use transitions to route a task back to a prior step but the Workflow engine logic does not allow for at-will repositioning of a task to a different step unfortunately.

Go back to the previous step of a workflow

At the moment, it's impossible to go back to the previous step in a workflow.

I´ll second that request. Even though adding transitions that go back to the previous step is a workaround, it becomes quite unusable when you have large and complex workflows.

Thank you Eric. We will try to add that transition in our workflow but the idea behind this is to make WS more user-friendly and intuitive. Many competitors in the market already offer that basic functionality. It's really basic to me (and to many other companies already using WS). It would save a lot of time to simply click on a button (instead of configuring every workflow separately).

While this is sort of true, you can simply add a transition in your workflow that does go back.
