Status is not changed using Bulk Change because of a workflow validator.

[D]

I'm using bulk change to transition issues from 'In Progress' to 'On Hold' however the status does not get changed. I checked the log file and it shows an error and the message from the validator that is setup in the workflow. Without removing the validator from the workflow is there a way to workaround this issue?

If field Last comment matches the following parsed regular expression: (.+). Message to show when validation fails: Comment is required. Indicate why the issue is being put on hold.

Thank you,

Hi Dan,

Sorry, but the validator must be removed to trigger that transition, since a comment is being required by the validator.

If that is a frequent operation, you might insert in your workflow a parallel transition (same source and target) without the validator. You could create a special role (Bulk Changer) and allow only users with that role to see and trigger this new transition.

Regards.

Sorry I forgot to update the issue based on what you suggested. I implemented the change in our development environment and it worked as you described. However, we decided that because this does not happen very often we're going to hold off making the change in production.
