[Status: Backburner ⌛️] More Mass Edit Options

We think the mass select feature should have more options! 

  • Assign importance
  • Star tasks
  • Add tasks to a calendar
  • Add task prefix (can currently only be done when duplicating a folder or project, I believe)
  • Duplicate (sometimes you want to duplicate multiple tasks and not the entire folder)

It would also be nice to have an option to auto-select all sub-tasks when a parent task is selected.

Mass Edit for all standard & custom fields would be a huge benefit.

I agree- once a project is set up, we often have the need to change all task prefixes or importance.

We also have the need to mass edit the task prefix on mass and duplicate multiple tasks.

Also mass edit who can follow.

Let's also add custom fields to mass edit! If not there, some click+drag functionality in the table view (even the ability to use the directional arrow keys) would go a long way. Thanks.

OMG OMG OMG please. This would save me so much time. Click+Drag or something woud be HUGE. Bulk Change custom fields would be a massive update.

Mass edit custom fields is a 100% requirement

There should be a mass edit option for Descriptions of tasks. I spending a lot of time updating each description. No, I cannot duplicate a task as there are different stages of set-up for our projects.

Any update on this??? Doesn't Wrike usually get on these forums and give us a response?

I particularly want the bulk ability to Star a task. I don't always do Starred tasks, but when I have a particularly busy day, I Star all my tasks because I can drag/rearrange each task as I'm working between each task. So on my busy days, it'd be super helpful to just go in my Dashboard for tasks Due Today and just bulk Star them all. Just for an idea of what that looks like, I have around 20-30 tasks on a busy day that I'm juggling. (If anyone knows a workaround other than clicking and starring one by one, please let me know!)

Thanks!

Now if you would just allow mass edit of folders & projects ... like this ask from 2017 https://help.wrike.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115004130049-Mass-Delete-Folders-Projects - Followers and voters on this this task, please consider if mass editing folders & projects would also benefit your teams and if so, please upvote the link I provided. Thank you for considering

Mass editing prefixes and mass adding to calendar would be great!

Would also like to be able to mass edit followers (other than oneself: follow vs unfollow). I'm pushing my team to have only one assignee and use followers instead, so being able to mass add followers would be great. I was recently helping another team member who'd just gotten about 50 notifications in her Wrike inbox about deleted tasks. A different colleague had removed her as an assignee before deleting the tasks, but it still flooded her inbox because she was still a follower. Maybe in that case there's a different solution that could be made via the inbox. People can't find important messages when their inbox is flooded with a load of '_____ deleted a task' notices. Others just give up on trying to use their Wrike inboxes when they're flooded like that.
