I am interested in the functionality of having the Workflow form integrated into Views so that users will have the ability of changing the current state of a list of nodes to other states. Each node is expected to have a different comment. VBO doesn't support individual comments or different states for each node in one submit. But Views Embed Form does not support a single submit for a page. 

#To put it a bit visually
for each node
  a bit of data about the node
  a radio button list of possible state movements  
  a comment box
submit for batch processing

I am comfortable with making all fields required (that annoying little *). But possibly the option to make field required an option for a submit might be useful too.

Workflow already comes with it's own actions to change a state and also has workflow_node_form , which looks useful.

But I am not sure what path to follow to make this happen. I'm taking my first look at modules and how they are written, and I'm not a PHP programmer, yet.

So my question is, would this be a feature mostly related to Views Embed Form? If so, what information do have in hook_views_embed_form and where do I go from there?

Thanks,

Perry

VEF doesn't support one form on the whole page right now, sorry. You have to have a different submit for each row. I didn't plan this functionality, but can think of it. However, I am fully occupied right now, so I would only be able to do it as a paid consultation. If you are not fine with that, try pinging me in a month and I will try to save an hour or two.

Is this still valid? I think there is a duplicate issue to support one submit button...
