  Ben,
  I don't disagree with the fact this is a defect. It is and
  it's not a problem in 7.5.1 nor in 7.5.1.1... although I
  have no reference to how it was fixed since so much was
  redesigned in 7.5.1.
  
  My point earlier was normally you wouldn't setup a lifecycle
  this way because even if you could see the policies, by
  manually removing the transition rule, the policies would
  execute and the asset would transition to this state and
  back to the draft state automatically.
  
  If I am missing something... let's discuss and if necessary
  walk through the customer's use case so I understand if
  fully. I want to ensure the way it's now working in 7.5.1
  and 7.5.1.1 is adequate to solve the customer's problem.
