Bulk actions for Appraisals

I currently have approximately 50 appraisals to close and delete (from development) and currently it appears that this can only be done one at a time. A very time consuming process that I would like to be able to shorten.

Has anyone else had this problem? If so did you find a resolution?

Thanks

Maurice

p.s. I have posted two enhancement requests should you have a similar issues.

Probably not the answer you expect but it sounds like one of those very annoying one-time tasks that's not going to take that much time in the end... 50 appraisals, 30 seconds per appraisal max. - it shouldn't take more than half an hour.

If it was that easy I would have done it that way. I guess that with no knowledge of how we are using the Appraisal system the challenges we face may not be clear. We need to ensure we don't delete an appraisal that must be kept and this means a simple rote close/deletion process raises too many unacceptable risks.

A way of marking the appraisals for bulk deletion or moving to an archive folder would reduce the risks.
