Overview

The Bulk Update extension in NocoDB allows you to update multiple records in a view simultaneously. 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.

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.
