  - #### name

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Short name for the transition. It may be used in log files, user interface, etc.

  - #### description

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Free-form description of transition purpose, mechanisms, etc. Used for documentation purposes (comment).

  - #### documentation

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Technical documentation for a particular object or construct.

    The purpose of this element is to document system configuration and behavior. The documentation will not be presented to end users. In fact, it will probably not be presented at all in midPoint user interface. This documentation element is supposed to be a part of the technical documentation of midPoint deployment. The tools than generate deployment configuration will look for these elements and combine them to compiled documentation document.

    AsciiDoc formatting is assumed for this element. Any leading or trailing whitespace is skipped. Indentation equivalent to he indentation of the first non-blank line of text is also skipped.

  - #### targetState

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [1,1]

    Display order:

    Identifier of the state that is the target of the transition.

  - #### condition

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Condition for automatic state transition. If the condition returns true value then lifecycle transitions to the target state.
