Change values of many records

Use this for the same field correction on several records. Read Changing many records for selection, access and limits.

1. In an editable collection, tick the records or choose Select all … matching. Check the count and any exclusions in the selection bar, then choose Change values.
2. Choose Change a field and select a field. Choose Set to and enter its new value, or Clear for an optional field. Required fields cannot be cleared. Read-only and hidden fields are not offered. Repeat to change more fields together.
3. Leave a field out to keep its value. To remove a field you added, use its Do not change … button. This form does not need a Keep choice on every field.
4. Choose Change the rest to apply records that can change despite other refusals, or Change none to require every item to pass. If the second option is unavailable, the dialog explains the deployment’s all-or-nothing limit.
5. Choose Preview. Read how many records would change, already hold the values, or would be refused. Open a refused record to understand its reason. Use Back to revise the change.
6. Choose Apply, then read the actual result. A record changed by someone else is refused. Preview again checks remaining work against current values. Choose Done when finished.

View job leaves a preview waiting on its job page. Closing the preview otherwise cancels it. If the model changed, reload before making a fresh change; if the change set changed, preview again. A successful preview never reserves a record against another editor.
