Execution of multiple workflow items in inbox

Question

Weu2019d like to have the possibility to approve more than 1 work item at the same time (same task). We can select more than 1 item but when we approve, we still have to approve each one of them. In the personal workflow settings I couldnu2019t find the option "Transfer of Execution to Other Work Items Possible". I also check in customizing u201CChange Presettings for Personal Workflow Settings - Further settingsu201D but I donu2019t find this option.  Do I need to change something else in the customizing (release 6.4 - 6405.5.23.1024)?
Thanks for your help

Giulia,
This is not possible via SBWP. However you can always create a custom program. The program will collect and show workitems pending for current user.
You can show the list in a tabular form. User can select more than 1 item.
Once selection is over you can approve the workitem via the program.
However there is some catch - some hardcoding will be needed.
This is because the program should know what options a particular decision task provide. For eg, 1 task could give only approve as option whereas other may give as approve and reject both,
You can also put task specific settings in custom table to secure future workflow additions. Need to put some logic in your program to handle that.
I do not have access to system at present. Try searching for FMs to get workitems in the inbox.
Hope this helps
