Add field Mass Update

[adwawad12]

There is a possibility to add fields to the mass update?

[urdhvatech]

You can add fields into the mass update by enabling it from studio.
For example:
Navigate to Admin > Studio > Contacts >Fields

and edit the fields that you wants to and mark check box “Massupdate” true and resave the field. you will have it that field in mass update.

In case if it doesn’t work for specific field. You can do it manually.
custom/Extension/modules/{module}/Ext/Vardefs/sugarfield_yourfieldname_c.php
and

$dictionary['YourModule']['fields']['yourfieldname_c']['massupdate']=true;

Do quick repair & rebuild.

For this field (billing_address_state) it doesn’t work. Can you help me?

Hello,
billing_address_state field is type of text area, which doesn’t support by suitecrm for massupdate.
by default it supports field types are

Bool, Enum, Multienum, radioenum, datetime, date

Mass Update Function Not Accepting Text Field

We have attempted to insert a text field for mass updating (opportunities, contacts and leads) using the code level customization and have done this correctly but after a quick repair and re build, the text filed does not appear. Any suggestions?
