Add Mass Update for Text Area Fields 'Description' and how-to mass update using Zoho Sheet View

Please add mass update for text area fields. Thank you.

Most new imports don't use description, so we add a first verbose context to leads. As VCF uploads are easy and it's cumbersome to add a description field upfront manually to each of 500 records, I prefer to do this after import.

I dislike export, change an overwrite import, to much handling... although it works: https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/mass-field-update#2266000003580149

I love Zoho 'spread' Sheet View which works great for such updates if you don't have thousands of records. In a way same as export and overwrite but solved SaaS side. Btw perfect for data cleansing jobs, where visual pattern detection speeds up...
