Hi Tyler_Kim ,

Items when created are always in default LC state. One of the options can be

1. Import the items

2. Using postAMLpackagedeployment script promote them. You need to use action=PromoteItem

Sample AML can be as below

 Jayrajvh I'm getting a "failed to get the transition to promote the Item from New to Released error:



Previously, there was no direct transition from New to Released. Do I need to add a transition (with the Aras PLM identity) to make this possible?

EDIT: I've added a transition from the New to Released state (with the Aras PLM identity) and I'm still getting the same error

EDIT2: I've also tried moving the item to the very next state (transition handled by a non-admin identity) and also got the same error
