2828680 - The "Advance Candidate" button is not working in disqualified statuses

When clicking the "Advance Candidate" button on a candidate in a disqualified status, you are getting the error message "Cannot save, status changes cannot apply to selected candidate(s)".

However, when you try to move the candidate to the disqualified status using the drag-and-drop status change functionality, it is moving the candidate correctly.

1. Login to your instance and navigate to a job requisition with a candidate in a disqualified status.
2. Move the candidate to the next disqualified status using the drag-and-drop status change functionality, and see that it works correctly.
3. Move the candidate back to the first disqualified status.
4. Now try to move the candidate to the next status using the “Advance Candidate” button, and see that it fails with error message "Cannot save, status changes cannot apply to selected candidate(s)".

This is expected behaviour. The "Advance Candidate" button is designed to work only for statuses which contain active applications.

An enhancement request has already been created with our Engineering Team to disable this button altogether for disqualified statuses.

If it is necessary to move the candidate to the next disqualified status, you can continue to use the drag-and-drop status change functionality.
