When you add this condition to a transition, the add-on checks whether the current user has triggered any transitions between the selected From and To statuses. If a transition has been triggered between the two selected statuses by the current user, then the transition on which the condition is configured will be hidden from the user.
In short, the selected transition will be available to the user as long as the user never triggered any transition between the two selected statuses.
