Cause

There is a missing or invalid MDF configuration.

Resolution

To operate, Manage Mass Change relies on metadata Framework (MDF) Picklists to be configured. These need to be both PRESENT and also CORRECT or this kind of error can happen. The 1st screen shot above occurs when the Picklists are not present. The 2nd one occurs when the values are not exactly as they should be. 


In Admin Tools > picklist center there should be 3 Picklists set up exactly as per below screen shots. Check this to see if there are any anomalies to be corrected, then try to submit your Mass Change job again.
