[From Wrike] Mass Edit Custom Field Values in Table View 📢

Featured

Hi Community! 👋

We are very excited to announce the enhancement that many Wrike users have been looking forward to - Custom Field values mass editing in the Table VIew! 🎉

You can now mass edit cells in the Table view by dragging the needed value (or values) per column.

Here’s how to do it:

Click the cell in a column you want to fill in. To select several cells in one column, hold your mouse button and drag the cursor down the column, selecting cells as you go. Release your mouse button when you're done.
Click the small square icon in the right corner of the cell(s).
Hold your mouse button and drag the cursor to the needed cell.

For more info on this, check out our Help Center 📌

Your feedback is very welcome - please let us know what you think below 👇

Hi guys,

I have the need to update fields that are disparate in my table view, ie not next to each other. Generally it's a level of subtasks down in the hierarchy. So I don't want to drag n drop through higher-level tasks and have them pick up the same value.

I can hand-select without issue in the List view to allow for this situation, but in that view I can't update custom fields.

Do you have any idea on how I could accomplish this?

Thanks!

Hi Al Sape!

Whenever you mass-edit cells in Table View, these cells are then highlighted and can be copied and pasted. You could drag through the first few, copy the cells when you reach one you don't want to edit, and then paste it into the next one you do and continue mass editing.

Let me know if this helped! If you have any other questions, be sure to let me know.

I've noticed that if I want to delete values in Table view, I have to double click into the individual cells in order to clear it out. So there doesn't seem to be a way to mass delete. Highlighting a cell (whether one or multiple) and using the Delete key does nothing. Can this functionality be added? Deleting values in multiple rows could be time consuming, since each one would have to be done individually.
