Effects of Configuration Parameters
This section provides a detailed explanation of the configuration parameters of the Mass Edit feature, described above.
* 
The content of this section assumes a basic understanding of the Mass Edit feature.
1st case
In this case, the Check mandatory fields during Mass Edit and Show Mass Edit Results checkboxes are true:
After configuring the Mass Edit transaction and clicking Save, the following pop-up window shows the results of the process:
* 
By default the Failed only checkbox is set to true, so only the failed updates are listed.
Setting the Failed only checkbox to false all the transactions (both successful and unsuccessful) are listed. Next to the Result column the rule by which the given transaction failed is shown (in this example: MissingMandatoryFieldException, indicating that a mandatory field is missing a value).
By clicking the rule, a pop-up window shows which mandatory field(s) caused the failure, so users can fix the problem and re-run the Mass Edit on the given Tracker Items.
2nd case
In this case, the Check mandatory fields during Mass Edit checkbox is ture and the Show Mass Edit Results checkbox is false.
With this configuration, the results window is not displayed after finishing the Mass Edit. If there are any mandatory fields missing values, a pop-up window shows which fields are missing (though without showing the Tracker Item concerned):
3rd case
In this case, the Check mandatory fields during Mass Edit checkbox is false and the Show Mass Edit Results checkbox is true.
After configuring the Mass Edit transaction and clicking Save, the following pop-up window shows the results of the process:
* 
In this case the system skips the check for mandatory fields and uptades all the Tracker Items, irrespective of their mandatory fields missing values. Use this configuration with caution!
4th case
In this case, the disableCheckMandatoryFieldsCheckbox parameter (in System AdminApplication Configuration ) is true. This means that the user has no control over whether the check for mandatory fields is enabled or disabled, it runs every time by default.
The Show Mass Edit Results checkbox has the same effect as described in previous sections.
