Can we remain in the same state even after clicking submit button?

Hello All,

Can we remain in the same stage even after clicking submit button? Also it should remain in the same stage only when certain conditions are met. For eg:

Condition : In Stage1, CustomFieldA default value is 'No'. To pass from Stage1 to Stage2 the CustomFieldA value should be made to yes.

Scenario 1 : CustomFieldA value is 'No', and I click on Submit .

Expected Result : should remain in the same stage

Is above result achievable in PS 2013? I am creating workflow in Visual Studio 2012, so can I handle this in the workflow?

Please help.
