A new version of Bulk Edit has been released and can be downloaded immediately from the app store! In this version I have implemented many of the most requested features and changed some of the old, so read ahead and try it out.
New Features
- Save changes by row. Now by default all changes are saved one row at a time not and not one cell at a time.
- Defer saving of all changes. Optionally you can apply changes only a button click, this allows for you to change many projects at once before applying any changes.
- Improved localization. Dates and numbers now are shown in your locale format configured in PWA.
- Force check-in button. A shortcut button has been added to open the force check-in page in PWA.
- Per-user view changes saved. By default the last used field configuration will be displayed when you open Bulk Edit.
- No more double-click to edit fields. Now clicking on any cell or tabbing to that cell will allow immediate editing.
Bug fixes
- Sorting order of the custom field filter view is now alphabetical.
- On initial load the app sometimes failed to load data and would be stuck “Loading…” indefinitely.
Installation
Open site contents in PWA to find the update link:
If you don’t see the update link, then open Details on the app tile to find it.
When I go to install it says we allready own the app, which I assume means it is the latest version. It says Version 1.2.015. Does that version fix the load forever bug, because if it does, it is still happening to me.
Hello,
If the update has not fixed this issue for you then please can you post on the support forums some more info: https://nearbaseline.com/forums/forum/bulkedit-support/
These issues are often caused by data issues, so for me to track down the cause a copy / paste of the browser’s F12 Console log when the error occurs would be very helpful.
Thank you,
Martin
Hi Martin,
Just blogged about your app (I gave you the credit of course).

Great app!
Hey cheers for the mention! And I’m glad you like the app. :)
Dear Martin,
It looks like this app can help our PMO work significantly. But I can’t get it working in our system. It keeps saying ‘loading data’ after I clicked on the link. Is this a familiar bug for you? Big change it’s our IT provider who is blocking something. So maybe a strange question to ask, but do you have an idea how I can guide them in the correct direction in solving this.
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
Yes unfortunately I have seen this error before, please ensure that you have the latest version installed as some fixes for this bug are included in that release. Failing that if you can post a new support request under the Bulk Edit support forums with further details: more information can be found by opening the App, pressing F12 (in chrome or IE) to open the developer console, then copying into your request any error messages you see in the log after reloading the page.
Thanks,
Martin
Absolutely loving the app, thanks Martin you have just saved me a bunch of work every week
We’re noticing that the only fields that pull through on the bulk edit are the custom fields. How do we select the non-custom fields i.e. Objective, Technical Sponsor… these fields are included in the “Out of the Box” PWA 2016 Online version.
Hi,
Yes you can show all fields in the field picker, just check the box at the top of the “Select Custom Fields” window “Show all fields?”.
That will show all editable out of the box fields in the list.

Hi all
I’ve got a problem with updating my Projects. I’ve already selected the fields from the Project Center but when I want to change something, it’s always ending in an error, which pops up at the end of the page (Error loading page, error was: errordetails: )
Does anyone know what am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Michael
