Is there an option to bulk update a custom attribute value in RTC 4.0.1
Hi Team
We have created a custom attribute in RTC 4.0.1.
The requirement is to change the attribute value from Option 1 to Option 2.
Kindly let me know if there is any option to cater this?
Best Regards

Hi Rajat, it looks like this is a defect and will be fixed in 4.0.4

First Option would be to run Synchronize attributes. It can be done from the UI or using the API http://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/11/19/using-an-expression-to-synchronize-attributes-for-work-items-of-a-specific-type/ . There is a query limit that could get into the way. You can avoid it by changing the property as described or modify your items using the API similar to synchronizing the attributes and adding code like here: http://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/working-with-work-item-attributes/ .

Thanks for the response Ralph!! However, my query is more on synchronizing the value in the attribute. Do we need to follow the sam steps? We have an attribute named as 'Section'. Section has two possible values: Section 1 and Section 2.
We have created 1500 workitems with value as section 1.
We are currently doing it manually by opening each workitem and changing the value to 'Section 2' and saving the workitem. However, this being tedious, is there any way we select all these workitems and update them all to 'Section 2'.

If the attribute is at all work items you don't have to synchronize attributes. If it is not and you want it at work items that don't have it, you do.
