Error description
Suppose you've chosen 'Apply' for the 'How should dialogless transitions treat show dialog attributes?' field in the CR process (prior to 5.2.0.2.04, this setting didn't exist, but the product behaved as if the value were 'Ignore'). State X has required attributes on the show dialog, and transition X2Y is dialogless. You go to bulk transition a couple of CRs in state X to Y. Since this transition is non-interactive, what should happen is the transition should succeed for the CRs in which the required attributes are present, and should fail in those where the required attributes are absent. What actually happens is the transitions all succeed, even if the required attributes are absent, because the constraint isn't enforced. Note that the APIs should likewise be enforcing this constraint.
