Editing a list view
Depending on your permissions, it is also possible to edit fields in a list view.
You can edit individual records by hovering over a record until the pencil shows, then clicking on the field to open the field edit dialog:
Editing multiple records
It is possible to update multiple records in one go by ticking the records you would like to edit in the left hand column:
then ‘Save’ your changes:
Notes
Your user will need ‘Edit’ permissions to be able to edit the field
See your systems admin if you need these
If a Record Type exists on your records, you need to FILTER on that record type in order to be able to Edit fields
This is a common reason why you won’t see the editing pencil
Can’t Undo
You can’t ‘undo’ your edit, so when doing a bulk update be super careful
