4. Click the Actions tab and click Add to add an action.

5. Select Set state to [state] with comment [comment] from the Action list.

6. Select the State to set when the trigger runs.

Select <Default State> to use the default state set in the workflow template.

7. Enter a Comment to include with the state change.

8. Click OK.

9. Select Disable trigger after it runs once if you only want the trigger to run once.
