+ #+vindex: org-clock-in-switch-to-state
+ The variable ~org-clock-in-switch-to-state~ controls how a current
+ task's TODO state is changed on clock-in. No change (a ~nil~) is
+ the default. A specific state may be forced with a string value.
+ Additionally, a function which takes a current state and returns
+ either a new state or ~nil~ for no change may be used. Finally, an
+ alist may be used to provide a mapping from state to state.
+ Consider the following example, where ~TODO~ becomes ~WORKING~, and
+ ~WAITING~ becomes ~WORKING~ on clock-in.
+
+ #+begin_src emacs-lisp
+ (setf org-clock-in-switch-to-state '(("TODO" . "WORKING")
+ ("WAITING" . "WORKING")))
+ #+end_src
+
+ The
+ ~org-clock-in-next-state~ alist may be utilized by setting it to
+ ~org-clock-in-next-state-function~, or a custom function may be
+ used. This custom function should take the current state, and
+ return either a new state or ~nil~ to keep the current state.
