This could be by design, but I thought I'd check incase I'm just not doing something right. I have the Workflow module and I use Rules module to work all kind of magic and also sometimes use some actions (Workflow and Rules don't always work together as I'd like...)

When using VBO, I love the fact I can move items through to the next state in a workflow, and this works really well. The problem is that when changing the workflow state, the rules and actions I have set up for that change are not activated. Is there anyway this could be implemented?

As an example, I have an action to send an e-mail to the content author when the status is changed - but when I change the status with a bulk operation, the e-mail is not sent, and therefore the user in unaware of the change.

Any help with this would be great. Many thanks,

Adam

Issue more than two years old, with no activity. Closing.
In general, since VBO does a node_save(), I don't see a reason why the rules / actions wouldn't fire. If the problem still exists, it needs to be confirmed on latest code.
