How to edit multiple work items?


Scott Chapman (3216547) | asked Oct 29 '10, 1:19 p.m.
I am running 2.0 and I should be able to edit multiple work items but I cannot.

I have check my role and it has permissions to do multi edit, but there is no icon on the tool bar, or anything anywhere else I can find...

Hi Scott

I tend to edit multiple items (eg: change priority) via the results of a work item query in the IDE client. I don't have a client in front of me at the moment but I am pretty sure I run the query - get the results list and make sure the attribute is shown, select all the work items I want to change and then make the change by editing one of them and the rest are updated.

Was this what you wanted to do?

Note that in 3.0, you can do also do in the Web client (not sure how
well multi-edit was supported in the 2.0 Web client). Also note that
to multi-edit a given field in the Eclipse query results view, you need
to right click *over the column you want to change* (that is something
that a lot of folks have found confusing ... I submitted a work item to
not make this operation sensitive to the column you are clicking in, but
I don't think this behavior has changed in 3.0).

Cheers,
Geoff

 Geoffrey,

do you know if this behavior supports changing any attribute type? I'm trying to do so over a multi checkbox attribute, but that does not seem to work. Could you please confirm which data type is supported in this operation?

Thanks.
