Sample Utility

Among the samples is the CRStatusConverter utility. It allows you to change the statuses of change requests that existed before your organization started using customized workflows. The version shipped with this release works with new workflows, not with the old workflows from releases prior to 5.2.

The utility is offered for your convenience, but it may need to be modified to fit your situation and is not a supported utility.

Essentially, any change request that has the entry step’s name as its value for the workflow control property can have that value updated based on the value in its existing change request Status field. This works for any change request with a value in the Status field specifically defined as a dynamic default for any step in the workflow.
