Changing multiple custom fields

Bulk field changes allow you to easily update multiple custom field values at the same time. You can set a field to a new value or the default value. You can also append, prepend, and replace values in text custom fields.

1. Select the files or repository to change custom fields for and choose Activities > Advanced > Bulk Custom Field Changes.

The Bulk Custom Field Changes dialog box opens. All custom fields are displayed.

2. Make any changes. The available options depend on the custom field type.

• To set the field to a new value, select Set to value and enter a value.
• To set the field to the default value, select Set to default value.
• To add text to the beginning of a text field value, select Append and enter the text.
• To add text to the end of a text field value, select Prepend and enter the text.
• To replace a text field value, select Replace and enter the text to search for. Enter the replacement text in the With field.
• To keep the current field value, select <Do not change>.

3. Select Set custom fields recursively to change the field values on all files in the selected repository and all subrepositories.

4. Click OK.

The field values are changed.
