Multi-Edit Behavior

• Multi-edit actions will not trigger notifications.
• Multi-edit actions will not trigger custom automations.
• Multi-edit actions will not be able to apply some validations. For example, it's possible to mark multiple tasks as completed without assigning users or changing due dates to ongoing even if the workspace task settings don't allow it.
• Refreshing your browser or navigating away from the page while the multi-edit operation is in progress will interrupt the process and only some of the records will be updated.
• Selecting many records may take a while to complete, so plan accordingly.
• Pro subscriptions are limited to a maximum of 5,000 record updates at a time and the multi-edit speeds are throttled. Enterprise subscriptions have no restrictions.
• Multi-edit permissions are automatically applied to the workspace administrators permissions group by default. If admins want other permissions groups to have multi-edit capabilities, they will need to enable them in the desired permissions groups under the "Misc" category.
