Block variations transformations only going in one direction

[AlchemyUnited]

Description

I have two variations of core/paragraph. For the sake of this issue, I'll call them Blue Paragraph and Red Paragraph. I can, via scope (in erach variation), add the select in the block setting pallet (in the right sidebar) for picking a variation. Via that select, I can transform from core/paragraph, Blue paragraph or Red paragraph to Blue or Red, but not to core. That is, for example, I can't transform from Blue Paragraph back to the core/paragraph.

I've read the following looking for a solution:

https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/block-api/block-variations/

https://richtabor.com/block-variations/

And didn't see any mention of how to do this. Maybe it's not a code bug, but a documentation bug in that it's not explained how to achieve this?

It may help to know, my hope is to setup very specify blocks & variations that reflect the client's style guide. Yes, I understand I can define a color pallet, but there's currently no way to control color combos within that set of colors; specific combos that are defined in the brand style guide. In addition, this enables the client's team to focus on content and layout and not have to worry - at all - about maintaining the style guide. The blocks and block variations limit them, in a good and desired way.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

Here's a quick & dirty of my two (test) variations:

wp.blocks.registerBlockVariation( 'core/paragraph', {
    name: 'custom',
     title: __( 'Blue Paragraph' ),
     description: __( 'My new Blue Paragraph' ),
    attributes: { providerNameSlug: 'custom', className: 'is-style-blue-p4' },
    scope: [ 'inserter', 'transform' ],
});

wp.blocks.registerBlockVariation( 'core/paragraph', {
    name: 'custom2',
     title: __( 'Red Paragraph' ),
     description: __( 'My new Red Paragraph' ),
    attributes: { providerNameSlug: 'custom2', className: 'is-style-red-p1' },
    scope: [ 'block', 'inserter', 'transform' ],
});
