Bulk Edit - remove need to tick "with checked"
Bulk Edit.
Why do I have to tick “with checked” to do
anything?
I mean, tick (item), tick (item), with checked – resolve,
click (submit).
That doesn’t work because I didn’t tick the box next to
“with checked”.
Seems weird I have to tick “with checked” even though “with checked” means “with the items above checked do the thing I have in the box to the right”

Hi,
You don't have to check that box for it to work. That box is a "select all checkboxes" box. I agree that it's not obvious given it's location.
Cheers

you are right - the issues was caching!!
when I clicked the submit button the issue was still on my screen and so I thought it didn't work. then I ticked the box next to "with checked" and pressed submit and then the issue resolved itself.
What I did I just now is keep clicking submit until it disappeared from "open issues" without ticking "with checked".
Maybe the caching could be looked at so stuff happens on the first click instead of time elapsed :)
edit: three clicks of "open issues" menu option is how long it took for the open issues view to update after resolving a single issue, via tick, with checked [resolve], submit

SoreGums: I need to work on the UI a bit, but with bulk edits they're actually done in the background so you don't take the performance hit (Each issue that you change causes a cascade of actions like sending email that can take a while to finish). It can take a few seconds to a few minutes (depending on how many and which types of issues) to complete.
But Adam is correct, there is no need to check the bottom check unless you want to check all issues.
