Skip "validation errors" when doing bulk update from MS Excel

When you are trying to update a specific field for a large set of workitems using MS Excel, and some updates return a validation error, then it would be very handy if you could just skip the ones in error and continue to update all others.
Now you only have the option to edit all workitems with a validation error or cancel the complete update.

    Understood. Thanks for the feedback here. Sometimes people want to publish a bulk of updates that are all related as one transaction, and we designed V1 to accomodate that scenario. In the meantime, you have to fix up all the validation errors to publish the full set.

    What I do as a workaround is delete the rows in Excel that hold the failing work items and then republish.
