Two options. Add all to a workspace, then "set state" or simply go to the folder (or do a search for everything in the context) and then "Actions, Process, Reassign Life Cycles".

If you are using 10.1 M040 or above we support Set State for multiple Objects from Folders (and from Search Results in 10.2 M020). You can just select all the items in the Folder and select Set State from the Actions drop down in the Folder.

Jeff, are you sure about from a search? I'm running 10.2 M020 and there is no option to set state from search results (as site admin).

Sorry Tom - mixing my MORs - its in the next release 10.2 M030 for the Serach results.

Excellent! Looking forward to M030. Thanks!

Hi Tom,

You can also do some customization and it should work with your version(from folder view) also:

You need to change this action :

pdmObject-actions.xml ->

<action name="SETSTATE_FROMFOLDERS" selectRequired="true" multiselect="true" checkaccess="true" enabledwhensuspended="true" renderType="PDM" uicomponent="SET_STATE">

<command windowType="popup" class="java.lang.Object" method="SETSTATE_FROMFOLDERS" onClick="validateSomethingSelected(event)"/>

</action>

I changed this action and added it to the custom-actionModels.xml and "Set State" works with multiple selection.

Regards,
