Pipeline

The context item for a Life Cycle promotion method looks like the following:

<Item type="" typeId="" id="" action="">
  <!-- Item Properties -->
  <transition>
    <Item type="Life Cycle Transition" id="31B3EFD665294DDD88AE962868B21621">
      <from_state keyed_name="Preliminary" type="Life Cycle State">A29C9720FF0D4950A140A90BEEA903DA</from_state>
      <to_state keyed_name="In Review" type="Life Cycle State">E4F115AAA1FA4D9FB053915171F49007</to_state>
      <role keyed_name="Aras PLM" type="Identity">56A96DA9E981481688563E2D14D5D878</role>
    </Item>
  </transition>
</Item>

The context item for an onAfterPromote method on the ItemType looks like

<Item type="" idlist="" />

🪲 In Aras 11sp9, there is a bug where the to_state contains the string Aras.Server.Core.LifeCycleStateInfo instead of the ID.
