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.
This attribute has two options in the dropdown (Option 1 and Option 2).
The requirement is to change the attribute value from Option 1 to Option 2.
Though this can be done manually by going to each workitem and changing the value; I am looking for a bulk update option as there are 1000+ workitems to be updated.
Kindly let me know if there is any option to cater this?
Best Regards

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.
However, we now need to change the value of 'section' of most of these workitems to Section 2.
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'.
Best Regards

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.
You might not have to use the API for updating the value.
In any case,I would
- check the query result limit and set it to a value above your threshold if necessary

Run a query for the attributes you want to change and check if the bulk update in the Web UI (or the Eclipse UI) allows you to set the attribute. If it does, that would be the easiest way.
