it's because the OOTB Normal Change Process Flow don't have any condition for Type=Normal
hence it's showing for all Change Types
If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Technically, yes — you can do it. But is it a good practice? The answer is no.
As a BPC, I deal with these cases daily. Creating a new state choice in the UI might seem like a quick 5-minute job, but in reality, you’d need to make multiple changes — including flow modifications, formatter updates, data model adjustments, and logic changes.
Handling transitions like moving a change to a new state or reverting it introduces significant complexity and potential technical debt. So, it’s best to avoid this approach.
What’s the alternative?
Use Change Tasks. Create a task specifically for testing, and once the task is closed, the change can move forward. You can handle validations at that level — which is a cleaner and more maintainable solution.

Completely agreed, it's not a good practice.
I want to do it for testing and analysis reasons. I've created the new state, added it in state model and modified the transitions as well.
But the new state is not visible on the state progress banner. How can I do that?

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar , Just one question before accepting the solution.
I checked sys_process_flow table, but it only contains entries for normal change not for standard change. Why is that?
If the entry is not there for standard change then how is the banner on the standard change for configured?
