How can I add fields in the Mass Update view?

Hello,
I cannot see any place where this view can be edited, and I’d like to make a mass update for a specific field which is not available at the moment.
Could you let me know where I can do this?
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Regine

Hi har,

This requires non-upgrade safe changes to include/MassUpdate.php

If you make any changes, these will be overridden in future updates.

Thanks,

Will.

Sorry, I just noticed that I could tick “Mass update” when creating or editing a field, so I guess this is solved.

Hello Will,
Thanks for your reply, but I don’t quite understand it:

"This requires non-upgrade safe changes to include/MassUpdate.php

If you make any changes, these will be overridden in future updates."

Do you mean that the fields that I create where I tick “Mass update” will be lost when we update the database?
Thanks,
Kind regards,
Regine

Hi Regine,

No. You should not need to make any changes to that file. I presumed you required to change the file, but you do not. You would only need to change the file if you wished to include more fields to be mass updatable, such as text fields, which you cannot mass update as default.

Thanks,

Will.
