Besides deleting multiple records in a table view, you can now select multiple records to edit their single select and status fields:
Click the checkbox to the left of any row. (Hover in that area to make the checkbox visible.)
To select all records (rows), click the checkbox located at the very top left of the table, adjacent to the first row.
Select a field in the menu that just appeared to edit for all selected records.
Notes: the beta version missing some improvements and features, will be released in January:
adding a feature to close the bulk edit overlay when clicking outside. To deselect all records until this feature is developed, please click on the selection count displayed on the overlay
introducing a “show more” feature to support apps with any number of single select or status fields without the overlay getting wider and wider, and considering a position change for better accessibility and readability.
What do you think, would it be possible to build a feature where i can select the first item, then press [shift] and select the tenth item and have everything in between also selected?
right, that is not yet possible. Could definitely be a low hanging feature to set the field to zero. Could you briefly post a feature request? Then we could include it directly in the next vote.
Hi all,
I also want to bump this, as I sadly didn’t know this wasn’t implemented and discovered that we cannot set to null or blank a Single select field in bulk.
A real use case is when using this Single select as a “flag” to signal that an specific check that needs to be done to a record is pending. If this check has to be done daily, and you have like 500 records, you are now forced to use an automation for this instead of a “simple unmark” (or similar) option.
Hi all,
As a quick workaround for this, I found this “fix” (although I am not sure if this could potentially break something/have unwanted consequences):
Create a new option in the field.
Set in bulk all the records to this option.
Delete the option.
I hope this “dirty” trick helps until a proper unset option is implemented.
