Symptom

When trying to update a Job Requisition via SFAPI, the following error returns: "<message>Job requisition status is invalid</message>".

One of the possible causes is the incorrect Job Requisition Status value being passed in the payload.

Take the following scenario as example: The Job Requisition state is Closed and the Job Requisition Status does not corresponds to a Hold On or Close status. Another example would be when a Job Requisition state is Opened and the Job Requisition Status value being provided is a Open status.
