Working with Item List Cards

Bulk change Items from an Item List Card

You may find yourself needing to update several Items on a Card with the same information. Rather than opening and editing each Item one at a time, you can bulk change them directly from the Item List Card.

To bulk change Items, you must have the appropriate permissions to make any given change to each of those Items. If you don't have the right permissions to make the chosen change to one of the selected Items, that Item will not be affected by the bulk change.

  • Click the ellipsis in the top right corner of the Card.
