Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.I'm wondering if there is any plan to provide better integration between VBO and Webform Submissions?
Here's my goal:
Anonymous users can fill out an employment application on our site (via a webform). Our recruiter would like to be able to sort through these applications and do things such as categorize them (accepted, denied, etc.) and send batch emails to applicants.
VBO seems like it would be an excellent match for this, except that it doesn't seem to integrate much at all with webform submissions in views. Are there any plans to integrate the two any better?? Or am I possibly missing something?

This is a question for them, in any case.

quicksketchWebform submissions are not entities, which is both a good and bad thing. They're more efficient than entities and scale better generally speaking, but are less flexible. VBO only works with entities, so if we wanted VBO-like functionality it would probably have to be done via a different Views handler.
There's already a feature request for this at #1589582: Add checkbox on the webform result page so user can select multiple result and delete them (Views Bulk Operation style). Let's continue over there.
