Hi,
I have hundreds of records of entity A, and I would like to change the value of a field inside them.
The value must be the same for all records, i.e., I need to change this field value to the new value for all records.
Can I simply do it from CRM configuration, and how?
May it have any impacts (for example, considering that Entity A has several lookups)?
Which is the standard way to do it?)
I am trying to set a custom two-options field to "Yes" to trigger a plugin that I wrote. Looking through some searches and documentation, it seems like this should be possible using a Workflow, however I'm not quite getting it to work as I thought it would. I want to be able to just run the Workflow once, and have all of the records have that one field update. x8spedersapk.id/.../
Currently: I added an "Update Record" step set to the primary entity that has the field to change. Clicked on "Set Properties" Selected "Yes" for the desired field. Chose the "Add" button when the entity and field dropdowns auto populated. Lastly selected the "Default Value: Yes" radio option and hit ok.
"{FieldName(EntityName);Yes}" was then generated and put on the form, I saved and activated the Workflow, however nothing seems to have happened.
I feel like I am either not understanding how the Workflow is supposed to work or I am missing a step, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi Joel,
1.The simplest way to bulk update fields is the capabilities of Bulk Edit(selecting records and clicking 'Edit' button to open dialog to update multiple records).

But the number of records returned by default is 50 in the view, you can go to Personalization Settings to select '250' option.
2.Another way is to export to Excel and re-import, but this could be tedious.

3.Also, you can create an on-demand workflow to bulk update records, then use Bulk Workflow Execution to run an on-demand for a view in the XrmToolBox.

Hi,
If you have many records, you can achieve this by creating a flow that you'll trigger manually.

Hello Joel D,
Open CRM System --> Click Advance Find --> Put a Condition as FIELD NAME Not Equal to NEW VALUE --> Click Results --> Select All then Click EDIT at the Top then Input New Value and Click OK
That's it :)
