ProcessTransition Start

I'm trying to figure out where a field is used and one of the places is referred to as: ProcessTransition Start.

I'm unable to find out where in SalesForce this is.
Any ideas of how I can figure this out ?

So far I can Exclude: APEX, Process Buider, Flows.

Hey for anybody stumbling on this and wondering, a field being used in ProcessTransition means it's part of an Approval Process.  You can find out which process(es) by doing the following:

- Pull down metadata for all Approval Processes in your org into IDE

- Global search within IDE for the API Name of the field you're looking for.

- You should find it in one or more Approval Processes - either by the step name, or if the Reference Label is "Start," I'm guessing you will find it in the entry criteria formula.

FYI, all of the "Process" objects (e.g. ProcessNode, ProcessInstance, etc.) generally all have to do with Approval Processes.

I actually have the same question. the "Where is this Used" dcoumentation does not indicate to what the ProcessTransition refers:
