If we select a file and select change state then change the state via the drop down list next to the File name. The comments section doesnt update with the category setup. However if the state is change via the drop down list next to the lifecycle it populates the comments as setup.
Why?
Thanks
Paul
Hello Paul,
I'd like to check if I understood your question correctly.
Please refer to the screenshot below.
If you change State from the drop-down menu in the upper right corner, the comment is automatically updated.
However, if you change State from the drop-down menu next to each file, the comment is not automatically updated.
This is as designed and is to accomodate a state change for multiple files. Let me give you an example. Please refer to the screenshot below.
You can choose a Lifecycle then choose State to apply updates for multiple files and they will have a common comment.
However, if State change for each file triggers the comment change, then it will affect other files that are even under different Lifecycle.
This is why those 2 drop-down menu behaves differently.
I hope the above answers your question.
Thank you.
