Workbench Moderation ships with self-to-self transitions, like draft-to-draft. Users should be able to create this type of transition in the UI, but right now this generates a form error:

Ha, yeah, there's even a test to ensure the behavior we don't want. :-)

This is an odd idea which I haven't seen in any other solution. There's no transition here, you're staying in the same place.

What's the backstory?

Without this transition, it is impossible to save an entity in the same state it already is. Making it a separate transition means you can control when someone can edit an entity in the same state or not (eg, can you edit a published node and leave it published? If you configure the permissions to let you.)

That question has come up a couple times now, so we need to better document it. Suggestions welcome on how to do that, although that's separate from this issue which is just fixing an admin bug.
