Bulk Updating of Custom Fields

Seconded. Would be really useful for us. I've just spent two days retroactively adding these in.

Hi guys, it would be great to get your vote over here so we can keep all feedback for this request in the same place for our Product Team's review👌

Hi Stephen, I'm not sure they are the same thing. I was thinking more along the lines of the way that you can multiple select tasks and change the workflow status in bulk.

Angus

This is a definite need.

@angus That makes sense, thank you for clarifying!

Thanks Angi!

@Elizabeth, can I please ask if the thread shared by Angi, meets the requirements outlined here? I'm currently getting an update from our product team on that request as it's over the 60 vote threshold and it's a lot easier for the team to review the feedback in one place so I'd like to redirect people there if it's essentially the same request. Thanks 👍

How are we doing on this feature? I just hit this wall today.

And no, this is a different requirement than the link you shared a year ago.

Hi Stephen Gracey! No updates from the team currently. Please make sure to upvote if you haven't yet so that if the team finds this suggestion possible for implementation, they can prioritize correctly. Thanks!

This would be a real time saver.  One example is a current situation where I made a mistake in setting up a blueprint and now that mistake is in over 30 tasks in 30 different projects.  The only way I can see to filter these tasks is by the name field through Search.  It would be great if the mass edit option on there could allow you to change custom fields; or if there was an option to show a table view of the search results.

Thank you for sharing your detailed use case here, Ian West! I'm sending your feedback to the Product team.

Has the ability to bulk edit custom fields been released?

Hello Ann Staniger, welcome to the Community! In the New Table View, you can drag the values of your custom field to copy them in other cells:

Could this be an option for you?

Also, I'd like to mention that you can check our New to Community forum to discover all the resources you can find in our Community 🙂

Drag function is clunky and inefficient when assigning across multiple projects and tasks.. My system will black out when I drag over multiple screen views.  We need a way to find - replace or add info to folders, projects, subprojects, tasks or subtasks.

Makes sense, Milissa. I have passed this on to the product team. We will be able to add a status to this once it reaches a 60 upvote threshold. Thanks!
