There's a "basedOn" property. I think it means that a state, when un-done, will only rollback to the basedOn state.

I had a viewstack with normal and no data views and wanted it to stay the same (either in no data or normal) when going to the updating/downloading state. Was frustrated when my normal state was inexplicably showing the no data view when it went to the updating state. I finally figured out it was undoing the current state (normal) and reverting back to the previous values, which incidentally were applied by the no data state. Once I moved all the code to transitions which are not undone, it worked fine. My current understanding is that anything you wish to be undone after you move to another state should be done in states. Any effect or permanent change should be done in transitions.

Changing from one state to another always unplays the properties and styles set in the previous state. Not a fan of that at all but that explains all my confusion.

It also performed the code in the fetching data state. I created a function to watch the state changes and the no data state was never being entered, but its properties were definitely being applied. I now have it working by doing everything in transitions, but does anyone know why this problem would happen? I tried to write a small sample app to demo this problem, but of course it worked fine.
