Mass Update - Add standard dropdown list in an upgrade safe way

[yorkylad]

Hi,

How can I add a standard Sugar field to the mass update area in an upgrade proof way?
Doing it via the vardefs is possible but this is not upgrade safe.

You can create an extended vardefs for your module:

custom/Extension/modules/<ModuleName>/Ext/Vardefs/vardefs.ext.php

 <?PHP
$dictionary['<BeanName>']['fields']['<FieldName>']['massupdate'] = true;
?>  

Then go to Admin -> Repair -> Rebuild Extensions

Cheers
