# How to bulk edit records?

Select multiple rows in the records table and change one field for all or only the current row. The **Bulk edit** dialog asks whether to apply the change to **{count} selected rows**.

## When you need this

- Change status or category for a group of records.
- Fix one field across many rows after import.
- Bulk update is faster than editing one by one.

## Key terms

- Selection — row checkboxes; counter **{count} selected**.
- **Bulk edit** — dialog after editing a field in the selection.
- **All {count}** — apply to all selected rows.
- **Only this row** — current row only.
- **View only in table** fields are not inline-editable.

## Before you start

- [x] Records table is open.
- [x] Permission to edit records.
- [x] The field you change is editable in the table.

## Step-by-step

1. Open the table in **Custom Data**.
2. Select rows (checkboxes) — **{count} selected** appears.
3. Edit a field value in one selected row (inline cell edit).
4. In **Bulk edit**, read **Apply this change to {count} selected rows?**
5. Choose:
   - **All {count}** — update all selected rows.
   - **Only this row** — change only the row you edited.
6. On success — **Updated {count} rows**.
7. **Clear selection** — reset selection.

## What happens next

Selected rows get the new field value. Other fields stay unchanged. Unique fields may return **Value must be unique**.

## How to verify

- All selected rows show the new value.
- **Updated {count} rows** matches expectation.
- No uniqueness conflicts on the field.

## Other options

- **Duplicate** — copy selected rows (**Duplicated {count} rows**).
- **Delete ({count})** — delete selection.
- **Export** — export selected rows only.
