Bulk Editing Tasks in the Task List

The workspace-level Task List gives you the ability to edit multiple tasks at once.

Only those tasks for which you have edit permission are edited. Any selected tasks for which you do not have edit permission for are not changed. A message indicates that those tasks for which you had permission were edited. Note: This message also displays if you attempt to change a value for a task that would result in a constraint violation.

To Open the Bulk Edit Pane:

Select the tasks you want to edit, then do one of the following:

Right-click to open the context menu, then click Edit.
Click Selection and Edit.

Edits you make in the Bulk Edit pane are applied when you click Save.

Validation is only done on those fields that are marked for changing (the box next to their name is selected).

Data displayed in the Bulk Edit pane follows these rules:

When data in a field is identical in all selected tasks, the data is displayed (Planned Start above).
When data in a field contains differs between selected tasks, the field displays Multiple (Planned Finish and Actual Start above).
Each editable field includes a box next to the field name.
Selecting this box indicates that the field contents should be changed in all selected tasks when the Bulk Edit pane is saved.
Changing the content of a field automatically selects the box.
Clearing this box (after selecting it or changing a field value) cancels any change to the field (no change is made), though any changes you made to the value does not revert until after you click Save.
When a field cannot be edited (Planned Finish and Actual Start above), the field displays as read-only and cannot be selected. If you select a child task and a parent task, a field may appear editable but will only be changed in the task(s) for which it can be edited.

If you select multiple tasks and do not have edit permission for any of them, a message displays, telling you that you do not have edit permission for the selected tasks.
