You can edit multiple records at the same time using an editing form. If you want to edit multiple fields or fields that don’t appear in the list view, use an editing form.

Before you begin

Role required: list_updater

Depending on your ACL settings, some of these options might not be available even with the right role. For example, if the list is task.list and users try to select multiple incident records from that task list, the form uses the task form and not the incident form so ACLs on task are enforced instead. Since users would not have access to tasks specifically, the form wouldn’t show any fields.
