Bulk Edit a Log

Bulk Edit a Log

Hi

I saw this post and want to know if this feature can be done using bulk edit? I have a courier company and want to update the status of multiple packages at the same time?

It started as a simple long text field "Notes Log", and then we added a feature that:
  • User enters new text in a separate field "Add Note".
  • Upon submit, scripting prepends what they just entered at the top of the "Notes Log" field, AND it automatically adds the current date (we decided against date/time), and a visual divider made of dashes and a newline.  (We chose not to add the user's name).  And it blanks the "Add Note" field so it is ready for next time. 
  • We keep the "Notes Log" field disabled, but others may prefer to allow it to be editable.


The scripting that does the appending is below, and we placed it in OnAdd/Validate, and OnEdit/Validate. 

  2. // UPDATE INTERNAL NOTES LOG, WITH NEW NOTE (if any)
  3. if (input.Add_Note  !=  "")
  4. {
  5.     input.Notes_Log = "====================" + "\n" + zoho.currentdate + " " + input.Add_Note + "\n\n" + input.Notes_Log;
  6.     input.Add_Note = "";
  7. }

We also added a little trick to display on the form the total size of the Notes Log.  Since textarea fields can technically be appx 32K, one shouldn't really need that.  But this was just a test of the concept, we may use this on textarea fields where we limit their size via Deluge.


My question is, can i do this to multiple records at the same time?
