This feature is particularly useful when you need to make the same change across multiple records, saving you time and effort. ## Updating Records Follow these steps to update multiple records in a table: 1. Select the table and associated view you wish to update. 2. Click the **New Action** button. 3. Choose the **Field** you want to update. 4. Select an **Update Type**: - **Set Value**: Set a specific value for the field. - **Clear Value**: Clear the field value. 5. If you selected **Set Value**, provide the **Value** to be applied. 6. Click the **Update Records** button to apply the changes. 7. A confirmation dialog will display the number of fields and records to be updated. Review the details and click **Confirm Update** to proceed. ![Bulk Update](/img/v2/extensions/bulk-update.png) You can add multiple actions to update different fields in the table. ## Managing Actions The actions added are listed in the **Actions** section. You can: - **Edit** an action by clicking on the action item in the list & making the necessary changes. - **Delete** an action by clicking on the delete icon next to the action item. - **Disable** an action by toggling the switch next to the action item. Disabling an action will prevent it from being applied to the records. :::warning - Bulk updates are irreversible. Ensure you review the changes before confirming the update. ::: :::info - Bulk updates are applied to all records in the view, including those not visible on the current page. - Bulk updates are specific to the view and are not applied to the entire table. ::: For any configured bulk update extension, you can reuse the **Update Records** button to repeat the batch update process. This is particularly useful when you need to apply the same changes across multiple records in the future.
