State Machine Rails 4 doesn't back to the initial state

I need a little help with state machine because I'm working with rails 4 I have a initial state called in_analysis and other states called approved and reject and the states approved and reject works fine I don't have problem for pass through to the states, but I can't back to the initial state called in_analysis, here is my code:

app/models/profile.rb

state_machine :state, :initial => :in_analysis do
 state :in_analysis, :approved, :rejected

 state :approved do
  validates :name, presence: true
 end

 event :approved do
  transition in_analysis: :approved
 end

 event :reject do
  transition in_analysis: :rejected
  transition approved: :rejected
 end
end

and in my controller I have this: 

  def update
   @profile.state = :in_analysis

   @profile = current_user.profile

  respond_to do |format|
   if @profile.update(profile_params)
    format.html { redirect_to edit_profile_path(@profile), notice:     t(:update, scope: [:messages, :controllers, :profiles, :successfully]) }
    format.json { render :show, status: :ok, location: edit_profile_path(@profile) }
   else
    format.html { render :edit }
    format.json { render json: @profile.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
  end
 end
end

so my goal is when the profile is updated the state back to the initial "in_analysis" but I don't know why doesn't work because the another state works well.

Thanks for the time ! regards !

Assuming that your state_machine is correct, the only place that you might be doing wrong is

@profile.state = :in_analysis

@profile = current_user.profile

You assign the state to :in_analysis then you actually assign @profile to old current_user.profile which is fetched from database thus your assignment to :in_analysis is discarded.

You can try to swap the two line:

@profile = current_user.profile
@profile.state = :in_analysis
