Thank you Martin for providing the solution to my issue! Your solution seems like it's exactly what I need, but now I feel like I need some additional authority to do things in HPQC before I can implement your solution.
My understanding at a high level is that your solution is to run a "workflow script" within HPQC. In order to run a workflow script I will need access to the "Workflow" module and the "Script Editor".
When I navigate to the "Project Customization" page via Tools --> Customize... I only see "User Properties". I need to see a link to "Workflow" in order to run custom scripts.
Will someone please confirm I'm on the right track? Then, I will go to my security team and ask for the HPQC access that I need.
Also, if anyone can summarize the type of access I should ask for that would be great. Also, is this a licensing issue or just a security issue? Is there additional licensing that's needed for access to the Workflow module?
