# Bulk approve, reject, or revert form element submissions

> Bulk approve, reject, or revert all form element submissions for a specific form element within a form submission (site + year scope).

**Workflow Actions**:
- `approve`: Sets all eligible submissions status to "APPROVED"
- `reject`: Sets all eligible submissions status to "REJECTED"
- `revert`: Sets all eligible submissions status back to "COMPLETED" (pending approval)

**Scope**: Only affects submissions for the specified form element within the current form submission (site + year combination).

**Permission Requirements**:
- User must have APPROVER, MANAGER, or OWNER role in the organization
- User must have access to the site where the form is deployed
- The form element must belong to the user's organization

**Parameters**:
- `formElementId`: The unique identifier of the form element
- `formSubmissionId`: The unique identifier of the form submission (scopes to specific site + year)
- `action`: One of "approve", "reject", or "revert"
- `reason`: Optional reason for the bulk approval/rejection/revert action

**Eligible Submissions**:
- For "approve": Only COMPLETED or REJECTED submissions will be approved
- For "reject": Only COMPLETED or APPROVED submissions will be rejected
- For "revert": Only APPROVED or REJECTED submissions will be reverted to COMPLETED

This endpoint is ideal for workflow management when you need to approve/reject/revert multiple period submissions (monthly, quarterly) for a form element at once.
