Error description

• ERROR DESCRIPTION:
  BMXAA0029E - You are not authorized to perform this action for
  this record changing asset status using Select Records in List
  tab
  
  PROBLEM:
  Changing asset status using Select Records in List tab results
  in BMXAA0029E - You are not authorized to perform this action
  for this record.
  When the user tries to change the status of a few assets using
  the button Change Status in the menu, the error BMXAA0029E
  appears on the screen.
  The user has all the permitions in the security group to do the
  action of change the status. In Assets application, the customer
  wanted to ensure that they have a security group that is allowed
  to Change Status based on a condition associated with the Change
  Status sigoption. Using a condition expression as :STATUS =
  'OPERATING' will result in error BMXAA0029E, while using a
  condition expression of :CHANGEBY is not null will work fine
  when they choose to Select Records in the list tab and click
  Change Status, even if they select the same records to have the
  statuses changed. For some condition expressions this works. For
  some condition expressions this fails, which makes this
  inconsistent.
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  Open Maximo as maxadmin
  Go to Conditional Expression Manager and create 2 conditional
  expressions as below :
  AAA1001
  Expression: :STATUS = 'OPERATING'
  AAA1002
  Expression: :CHANGEBY is not null
  
  Go to Security Groups and ensure that you have a security group
  that your user belongs to, and in the Applications tab, for the
  Assets application, choose the Change Status sigoption and
  associate the condition AAA1001 with it.
  
  Save Changes
  
  Log into Maximo as an user that belongs to that security group
  
  Go to Assets app
  
  In the list tab, use the Select Records checkbox to select 2 or
  3 records so that you can change status for those assets. (If we
  select on list the records that are in this status OPERATING and
  try to change to CANCEL, we are going to have the error that we
  don't have the permission.)
  
  You will get error BMXAA0029E - You are not authorized to
  perform this action for this record.
  
  Now, Go to Security Groups and ensure that you have a security
  group that your user belongs to, and in the Applications tab,
  for the Assets application, choose the Change Status sigoption
  and associate the condition AAA1002 with it.
  
  Go to Assets app
  
  In the list tab, use the Select Records checkbox to select 2 or
  3 records so that you can change status for those assets.
  
  Now everything works fine. So seems that we have some different
  behavior when using a status condition on this button, when just
  do a filter on the list or select the records.
  
  CURRENT ERRONEOUS RESULT:
  BMXAA0029E - You are not authorized to perform this action for
  this record changing asset status using Select Records in List
  tab
  
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  Changing asset status using Select Records in List tab does not
  show any errors
