To select all entity records, click the checkbox to the left of the 'Name' column heading. You can also use the SHIFT+click method to select all records between two specific records, or SHIFT+click the checkbox above to select all records currently displayed or click the checkbox above to select all records:

Mass Update

Mass updates is a tool used to quickly modify information that is the same for different records. You can mass update all the fields for products or categories and/or attributes for products.

Mass update select

You can select any number of fields and/or attributes to update.

To select mass update first select records you want to update. Then select Actions/Mass Update to proceed to Mass update popup.

Selecting mass update

When all fields and/or attributes you wanted are selected and their values are set press Update to start updating process. If everything is ok you will see Success message.

Mass update to fields

To update field select Select Field in Mass update popup. Then select a field you need from a list. Then apply field value as usual. If the field you selected is already selected it is not shown to you in the list.

Note that in Mass update you can update fields to an empty value even if they are required in one or more records. To do so just select a field and apply no field value. So check if you actually applied field values for not clearing all the data.

Unique to each record fields (such as Id) can not be selected to be mass updated.

Mass update to attributes

To update attribute select Select Attribute in Mass update popup. Then select an Attribute you need from a new popup. Here you can select different view variants and apply filters same as in Attribute entity. Still you cannot select more than one attribute at a time. To select more than one press Select Attribute and select new attribute. If the attribute you selected is already selected it will add nothing to Mass update popup.

If any/all of your products selected to be mass updated have no attribute the attribute will be linked to the product.

Mass update to attributes

Attributes have scopes so you have to select one proceed (same as adding attribute to a product). If any/all of your products selected to be mass updated have no attribute with selected scope the attribute will be linked to the product with selected scope. If the product cannot have such scope nothing will be updated/created.

Mass update to attributes scope

Note that attributes with different scope are treated as different attribute values.

If an attribute is multilingual you have to also select a language. If an attribute has a scope where the language you selected is not supported the value will not be created.

Mass update to attributes language

Note that attributes with different language are treated as different attribute values (except attribute with List or Multi-value list types - they are same value for all languages).

Mass action jobs

When mass actions involve large numbers of records, the system automatically creates background jobs to handle the processing efficiently. This ensures system performance and allows you to track progress without blocking the user interface.

You can monitor the progress through the Job Manager, which displays a counter showing how many records have been processed at the current time. The jobs can be canceled if necessary.

For detailed information about how background job processing works, including worker distribution, job creation thresholds, and processing limits, see the System Jobs documentation.
