ETM: Multi value select in filter of list views for test artifact Ids by comma separated list

We would like to be able to specify multiple artefact IDs in the filter box of test artefacts (especially test cases and test scripts) as a comma-separated list to eventually perform a bulk update of the status of the selected artefacts.


Use case: We need to reset the status of several test cases and test scripts at once (from "approved" back to "draft" to indicate the invalid content). The test case collection cannot be specified by filter rules in ETM list views of artefacts, as these are additionally determined by information outside ETM (e.g. workflow management or requirements management) and are not available in such list views. The total number of test artefacts and the number of test artefacts in such collections can be large (e.g. 500 out of 1500 test cases), which precludes a selection of artefacts in the table view.

The envisaged method would be of great help to achieve this task as a bulk on the user interface. This would be similar to the Report Builder, where such a function exists. It would be sufficient if the list that is dragged into the filter box is limited to a manageable number of, say, 100 artefacts, if there is an intrinsic limit.
