When a manager approves timesheets it should be possible to mark and approve multiple timesheets at once.

Dear Microsoft, as of version 10.0.30 (10.0.1362.124) / Update54 (7.0.6592.118), this option to approve multiple timesheets does NOT EXIST! :(


Repro steps:

  1. Go to Common > Common > Work items > Work items assigned to me
  2. Select multiple "Timesheet" work items
  3. RESULT: When multiple lines are selected the Workflow button immediately GREYS OUT making this option IMPOSSIBLE today.


This idea is being shown as UNDER REVIEW as of 3/1/2023 (6 years from the original idea). If this item is truly still UNDER REVIEW, can Microsoft provide an update of where this review stands, or an explanation of why this functionality is not being allowed to exist. Perhaps a compromise would be an option to throttle the maximum number of approvals (if performance was a major concern). This might be a global parameter that reads "Maximum number of approvals" = 1 (default). Users can change to some number up to a certain number that Microsoft feels has to be the maximum (50, 100, etc).

This should be a generic functionality. For example, if using Expense Reports line level workflow, this can generate a large number of workflow items to approve
