# Executing workflow transitions
The **Execute transition** can execute transitions on the issue. In the **Destination status** field, select the status that the issue should be moved to.
Select Workflow Transition
If there are multiple transitions to this destination status, the preferred one can be chosen in the **Use transition** field by setting the ID or the name of the transition.
Select Transition Use
After a name is specified, regexp can be used as well.
{% hint style="info" %}
Note: Only one regexp is allowed.
{% endhint %}
By default, the first found transition is used for moving the issue to the required destination status.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Important: If you want to execute a transition as a customer on a service management request, don't forget to add that transition to the portal as described [here](https://support.atlassian.com/jira-service-desk-cloud/docs/show-a-workflow-transition-in-the-portal/).
{% endhint %}
