Transition rules

I would like to code a rule that allows a particular transition only for certain MyCompany.ChangeRequest.DefectType{s}.

e.g.:

Transition from "Submitted" to "Reviewed" should only be allowed if

MyCompany.ChangeRequest.DefectType = "type1" or MyCompany.ChangeRequest.DefectType = "type2"

Can someone give me syntax for this please? I don't find the MSDN "Scoping Field Rules by State, Transition, or Reason" article very helpful as the rules are listed in C# rather than XML (why?!?!?!?!).

Our rules engine was not designed for that - you cannot make enable or disable transition based on a value of another field. You could try to come out with some workaround though - like making defect type part of your state definition or by defining rules for some field that would make that field invalid during the transition when the field value is invalid.
