Add a Note during Defect Fast Edit

When using the Fast Edit feature in the Defects tab of QAComplete, is it possible to add a Note?



For example, if I have a Status field for my Defects and I want to change numerous Defects from an "Open" to a "Closed" Status, is it possible for me to add a Note to every one of the modified Defects saying: "Closed as obsolete by Louis per discussion during last week's meeting" ?

    Hello Louis,



    Thank you for your post, please know that there are a couple ways of accomplishing this.



    - Using the "Fast Edit" under Defects, you would select "Update multiple items"

    - At the "Update Field 1" select "Update Field: Status" and at the "To Value: Closed"

    - At the "Update Field 2" select "Update Field: Resolution" and at the "To Value: Closed as obsolete by Louis per discussion during last week's meeting"

    - Please watch the following quick video I created for you: http://screencast.com/t/2S2vt26jx



    However Louis you can also add a custom field instead of using the "Resolution". Please see the steps and video below.



    - Under "Defects" click on the "Actions" drop down and select "Manage Custom Fields"

    - Add a new custom field, for example "Defect Closing Notes/Reason" with the "Field Type: Text" and the "Field Size: 100"

    - "Submit" the changes and return to the listing

    - Under Defects click on "Fast Edit" and select "Update multiple items"

    - At the "Update Field 1" select "Update Field: Status" and at the "To Value: Closed"

    - At the "Update Field 2" select your new custom field "Update Field: Defect Closing Notes/Reason" and at the "To Value: Closed as obsolete by Louis per discussion during last week's meeting"

    I hope this information helps.
