@rickcogley If I understand correctly what you’re looking for, you can already do a limited version of “bulk field editing” in both **Grid and Table View**.

- Copy a single cell (Ctrl+C) or any text value to your system clipboard
- Select multiple cells within a single column (via Shift+cursor up/down, or Ctrl+Click)
- Paste (Ctrl+V)

This will paste the value from your system clipboard into all the selected cells.

> What’s missing is the ability to [easily select a **large range** of cells via Shift+Click or Shift-PageUp/PageDown, or Shift-Home/End](https://community.fibery.io/t/table-views-shift-click-to-select-a-range-of-rows/1520/2).

In Grid view only, you can also make discontinuous selections via Ctrl+Click, and paste into all of them at once. This will also work with multiple columns/fields selected, so you can copy and paste multiple fields/columns from one entity to a bunch of selected other entities/rows in a single operation.

Using a temporary View filter is often effective to display only the specific set of records you want to bulk edit – then it’s relatively easy to select all the fields before applying your Paste operation.

I have also in the past made a custom **Button** just to allow me to update a number of field values at once in the currently-selected records (again, in a Table/Grid view, where you would first select the entities of interest, then use the Button to specify new field values for them).
