Assignment Status was Paid Leave prior to Transfer

Summary:

I was unable to confirm in Oracle documentation and assume the Assignment Status will revert to Active for a Local Transfer. We had an employee who was on paid leave and the assignment status was such. However, there was a transfer processed for employee and it reverted the assignment status to active and removed the paid leave. I am assuming this is working as expected and could not find a configuration option to hold the previous assignment status on Local Transfers. Or is there another way to keep them on paid leave in these situations such
