The only way to achieve that would be to create some kind of custom editor presentation. I am not a fan and think this is all pretty outdated, but here the links I know (from here https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/interesting-links/ ).

Otherwise
1. Add a value to represent "all"
2. Try not to use checkbox and try to select all values. I have not tried that myself

Finally, there are limits of what you can do with such UI's and how complex such UIs/workflows can (and should) be.
It is always best to stay on the simple side. Some stuff is just impossible, impractical or won't work with humans. See https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2016/07/15/rtc-process-customization-what-you-can-and-cannot-do/ for some hints.

Some will never learn. I have seen users ask how to automatically fill in attributes that are mandatory. That, to me, says it all. People put in useless mandatory attributes to implement a useless workflow and then try to automate the mandatory data. This only says the mandatory data should not have been in the tool/process, should have not been mandatory and should maybe been created in a reporting process.

 Ralph, I like your advice. By the way, I was able to do your #2 in 6.0.5. Have a great day.

 Hi Gagan,
I could be wrong. I could not configure RTC (6.0.3) to have a single button to select all.
I offer a possible work-around that you might consider.
Have the project admin to edit the presentation to be "Checkbox Enumeration List"
The user can then edit the attribute and use Left-Mouse-Click to select the first literal and Shift-Left-Mouse-Click to select all the literals in between the two clicks.
Perhaps you can try this.
Good luck.

Hi Stephen

To Reference of your second Screenshot

that is not Checkbox which i can see in second Screenshot.

I want to add button which will select all the values of that attribute in one click rather then click individually click all the values one by one

i hope you got my Question.

Hi Gagan,
Thanks for clarifying. I don't have a direct answer to your question. Good luck. I had hoped that this is still an enumeration list that you can select all.
Another very stupid workaround is to do an CSV roundtrip and import all the selected values. This is so inconvenient though.
Have a good day.
swoo
