# Shot Bulk Status Button Persistence Test

# Shot Bulk Status Button Persistence - Test Plan

## 🐛 Issue Identified

Problem: After performing a bulk status change, the bulk action buttons disappear immediately because the selection is cleared automatically.

### User Experience Impact:

- Users lose their selection after each bulk operation
- Cannot perform multiple bulk operations on the same set of shots
- Need to re-select shots for additional bulk changes
- Inconsistent with expected bulk operation behavior

## 🔧 Solution Implemented

### Root Cause:

// BEFORE (problematic): const handleBulkTaskStatusChange = async (taskType, newStatus) => { // ... perform bulk update ... // Clear selection after bulk update ❌ rowSelection.value = {} } // AFTER (fixed): const handleBulkTaskStatusChange = async (taskType, newStatus) => { // ... perform bulk update ... // Keep selection active so users can perform additional bulk operations ✅ // (selection remains intact) }

### Key Changes:

- Removed automatic selection clearing after bulk status change
- Selection now persists after bulk operations
- Users can perform multiple bulk operations on same selection
- Manual deselection still works (clicking checkboxes, header checkbox)

## 🧪 Test Scenarios

### Test 1: Bulk Status Change Button Persistence

1. Navigate to shot table view
2. Select multiple shots (2-3 shots) using checkboxes
3. Verify bulk action buttons appear in task column headers
4. Click a bulk action button and select a new status
5. Wait for success toast to appear
6. Verify shots are still selected (checkboxes remain checked)
7. Verify bulk action buttons are still visible

Expected: Selection and bulk action buttons persist after bulk operation

### Test 2: Multiple Bulk Operations

1. Select multiple shots
2. Perform bulk status change for "Animation" task type
3. Verify selection remains active
4. Perform bulk status change for "Lighting" task type
5. Verify selection still remains active
6. Perform bulk status change for "Compositing" task type
7. Verify all operations completed successfully

Expected: Can perform multiple bulk operations without re-selecting shots

### Test 3: Manual Selection Control

1. Select multiple shots and perform bulk operation
2. Verify selection persists
3. Manually deselect one shot by clicking its checkbox
4. Verify bulk buttons still appear (for remaining selected shots)
5. Click header checkbox to deselect all
6. Verify bulk buttons disappear

Expected: Manual selection controls work normally, bulk buttons respond to selection count

## 🔄 Improved Workflow

### Before (Problematic):

1
Select multiple shots
2
Bulk change Animation status → Selection cleared ❌
3
Re-select same shots again
4
Bulk change Lighting status → Selection cleared ❌
5
Re-select same shots again...

### After (Improved):

1
Select multiple shots
2
Bulk change Animation status → Selection persists ✅
3
Bulk change Lighting status → Selection persists ✅
4
Bulk change Compositing status → Selection persists ✅
5
Manually deselect when done

## 💡 User Benefits

- Efficiency: No need to re-select shots for multiple bulk operations
- Workflow: Natural bulk operation flow - select once, operate multiple times
- Control: Users decide when to clear selection, not the system
- Consistency: Matches expected behavior from other bulk operation interfaces
- Productivity: Faster batch processing of shot task statuses

## 🎯 Edge Cases to Test

### Selection Behavior:

- Bulk operation with single shot selected
- Bulk operation with all shots selected
- Partial deselection after bulk operation
- New shot selection after bulk operation
- Page refresh with active selection

### Error Scenarios:

- Bulk operation fails - selection should persist
- Network error during bulk operation
- Partial success in bulk operation

## ✅ Acceptance Criteria

- Bulk action buttons remain visible after successful bulk operations
- Shot selection persists after bulk status changes
- Users can perform multiple bulk operations without re-selecting
- Manual selection controls (checkboxes) work normally
- Header "select all" checkbox works normally
- Bulk buttons disappear only when selection count reaches 0
- Success toast appears for each bulk operation
- No console errors or unexpected behavior

## 🚀 Ready for Testing

The bulk task status change functionality now maintains selection persistence, allowing users to perform multiple bulk operations efficiently without losing their shot selection.

Key Improvement: Users can now select a group of shots once and perform multiple bulk status changes across different task types, significantly improving workflow efficiency for batch operations.
