Additional information about editing/modifying multiple BP records (bulk edit)

The Bulk Edit option (for multiple BP records) lets you edit the fields from the Action Form (Upper Form) of the current step in the workflow.

In a non-workflow BP, you can use Bulk Edit to update the Record Status if the record has not reached terminal status or the record is not terminated. The Bulk Edit window will show only active statuses.

You cannot use the Bulk Edit option for multiple BP records to edit:

The Bulk Edit option for multiple BP records is not available for the following BPs:

Fields that are configured for auto-sequencing are not available for bulk edit since the values for these fields are system-generated.

You cannot use the Bulk Edit option for single, or multiple, BP records to update a field that has value uniqueness configured.

You can update a maximum of 200 records using Workflow update (Action Without Preview window > Workflow Actions).

Only the Upper Form is modified during Workflow update (Action Without Preview window > Workflow Actions).

The Workflow update (Action Without Preview window > Workflow Actions) is not supported on tasks that are on the Initiation step.

When you send the record to the next step, the system performs validation for the required fields.

At the company-level and project-level, when you are taking action on multiple tasks, you must have Allow Bulk Edit permission for each task.

For bulk update, the fields are from both Upper Form and Details forms (drawn from integration templates). Some business processes do not support integration. As a result, you cannot take multiple actions on these business processes because integration is used in multiple action.

The system does not allow Bulk edit of Data Picker based on a query.
