# 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.

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.

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 %} ## --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
