520ce: massupdate Leads on Textfield

[mike2009]

Hello,

I created via studio in Leads-module 5 new fields, named int_kam1 ... int_kam5, textfields.

Now I want update a selection of these entrys (>5000 records) via massupdate-panel.

In my new book I followed the procedure (two ways described):

Creating in /custom/modules/Leads... a copy of /modules/Leads/vardefs.php. There I added my custom fields an gave them the attribute massupdate => true.
Rebuilding extensions, relations and also a quick-repair didn't show me these fields in panel.

2nd method:
Creating in /custom/Extensions/modules/Leads/Vardefs the file extended.php.
I inserted this: $dictionary['Leads']['fields']['int_kam1_c']['massupdate'] = true;
Rebuilding extensions, relations and also a quick-repair didn't show me these fields in panel.

3rd method:
via Studio I tried to change the field-definitions. Not possible, massupdate-option is not available.

Can anyone help ?

Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike

By default the Mass Update only display fields whose type is 'Date', 'Enum' (dropdown or radio button), 'Bool' (check box) and Relate.
This because one can input anything into text and text are field, which may generate inconsistence across the data.

Thanks andopes.

From where people can get this informations that text-fields are not massupdate--able ???

Ok, then I must split the massupdate into two parts and filling the custom-text-fields directly in database.

Nice holiday.

You can find this restriction on include/MassUpdate.php.

But understand customization on this file is not upgrade safe.
