More Mass Edit Options

Anna Wallace

We think the mass select feature should have more options!

Assign importance
Star tasks
Add tasks to a calendar
Add task prefix (can currently only be done when duplicating a folder or project, I believe)
Duplicate (sometimes you want to duplicate multiple tasks and not the entire folder)

It would also be nice to have an option to auto-select all sub-tasks when a parent task is selected.

Mass Edit for all standard & custom fields would be a huge benefit.

Melissa Jones

I agree- once a project is set up, we often have the need to change all task prefixes or importance.

Soraya Jung

We also have the need to mass edit the task prefix on mass and duplicate multiple tasks.

Susan Kane

Also mass edit who can follow.

Sam Koss

Let's also add custom fields to mass edit! If not there, some click+drag functionality in the table view (even the ability to use the directional arrow keys) would go a long way. Thanks.

Jared Bresee

OMG OMG OMG please. This would save me so much time. Click+Drag or something woud be HUGE. Bulk Change custom fields would be a massive update.

Lynda Raymond

Mass edit custom fields is a 100% requirement

Annamarie Sika-Rockson

There should be a mass edit option for Descriptions of tasks. I spending a lot of time updating each description. No, I cannot duplicate a task as there are different stages of set-up for our projects.

Richard Bitgood

Yes please! Bulk editing custom fields would make them massively more useful.

Jared Madsen

Any update on this??? Doesn't Wrike usually get on these forums and give us a response?

I particularly want the bulk ability to Star a task. I don't always do Starred tasks, but when I have a particularly busy day, I Star all my tasks because I can drag/rearrange each task as I'm working between each task. So on my busy days, it'd be super helpful to just go in my Dashboard for tasks Due Today and just bulk Star them all. Just for an idea of what that looks like, I have around 20-30 tasks on a busy day that I'm juggling. (If anyone knows a workaround other than clicking and starring one by one, please let me know!)

Thanks!

@Jared Madsen Yes, they usually do!

Wrike team, where ya at?!

Anyone else wishing it were easier to find and upvote ALL the variations of this request? If all votes were counted together I'm sure it would rate as one of the MOST common requests! Mass edit names, descriptions, custom fields please please please!

Hi everyone!

We wanted to share a quick update here and some good news 🙂

We've added the ability to mass edit custom fields to the table view! You can read more about it in this Community post. If you have any questions/feedback, please do let us know 👍

Ella Flansburg

YESSSSSSSS! Big win! Thank you Wrike!

Stephanie Bailey

I am so happy, entering in Q2 projects got easier and so did using BLUEPRINTS!!

Now if you would just allow mass edit of folders & projects ... like this ask from 2017 /hc/en-us/community/posts/115004130049-Mass-Delete-Folders-Projects - Followers and voters on this this task, please consider if mass editing folders & projects would also benefit your teams and if so, please upvote the link I provided. Thank you for considering

Mass editing prefixes and mass adding to calendar would be great!

Would also like to be able to mass edit followers (other than oneself: follow vs unfollow). I'm pushing my team to have only one assignee and use followers instead, so being able to mass add followers would be great. I was recently helping another team member who'd just gotten about 50 notifications in her Wrike inbox about deleted tasks. A different colleague had removed her as an assignee before deleting the tasks, but it still flooded her inbox because she was still a follower. Maybe in that case there's a different solution that could be made via the inbox. People can't find important messages when their inbox is flooded with a load of '_____ deleted a task' notices. Others just give up on trying to use their Wrike inboxes when they're flooded like that.
