A_MultiEdit

Opens the Edit multiple records dialog ("Bulk Editor"). (Clicking (Edit) in the list header when multiple rows are selected calls A_MultiEdit as well.)

The Edit multiple records dialog displays all editable fields contained in the list. When called from a query result, the dialog displays all editable fields defined in the respective info area's default list control (e.g. for companies the list control from the FI field group).

The following fields are not displayed in the Edit multiple records dialog:

• decoded fields (Z-fields)
• custom fields (defined in customFields.xml)
• fields flagged as VirtualCore (i.e. virtual fields with fixed IDs from 4200 to 4230, e.g. Created by ID), >> Fields with Fixed IDs in the CRM.Core Administrator Guide (2nd table).
• fields defined as read-only (in the data model or via field attribute)

Changing a field value automatically checks the check box. Unchecking the check box resets the field value. For hierarchical catalogs, the parent catalog is displayed as well. If both parent and child catalog are changed, resetting the change of either parent or child value resets the other value automatically.

In UPDATE_DEFAULT A_MultiEdit is configured in the M_MultiSelect (and the M_Company.MultiSelect and M_Person.MultiSelect) context menus, >> M_MultiSelect.

Aurea CRM uses transactions when editing multiple records in a list, >> Support for Database Transactions. If an error occurs while editing multiple records (e.g. a restriction due to a conditional field right), all changes are reversed (roll-back) and a message is displayed.
