100% agree this is a critical feature for any more complicated utilizations of Stacker. We manage interior design projects with each Project having many Purchase Orders and Line Items. It's sometimes critical to see a long list of Purchase Orders or a long list of Line Items and edit just one or two fields on all or some. Having to click into each record is too cumbersome, so we are staying in Airtable for the more detailed aspects of record editing.

I would love to have this option available Especially on the table view page. 1. Filter to what you want to see 2. Select all visible 3. Chafe status to…. Or assign to …… limitless possibilities.

I would love to be able to use this function too. Afterall, the benefit of a database as opposed to a spreadsheet, is that you can relate many records from one table, to a single record in another.

I would make use of this feature immediately if it were available.
And it would save our company many man hours when interacting with these apps.
I've built an app that our field staff uses on a daily basis to update the tasks that they completed that day for each project that they are working on. Each "project" is currently a "record" in Airtable with a bunch of check boxes that represent "tasks" needing to be completed.
Currently, they have to open up each record/project that is assigned to them in Stacker in order to access the check boxes to check off for that part of the project that they worked on for that day. The problem is, they are often working on multiple projects on any given day, but the tasks are the same for each project. So, like Lucy Zhang mentioned earlier, if we had the ability to create a view or "layout" where our users could access and update multiple records at once, without having to "back out" of one project, to jump into another "project", to check off which part of that project that they completed that day, then it would improve time efficiency greatly on our end.
In closing, having the ability to interact with multiple records at the same time within one stacker layout, would be an absolute game changer in my opinion. Sam Davyson Peter Juten

Mike Rodriguez: Thanks for taking the time to write up your use-case Mike! I'd love to talk more to you, it would be great if we could chat sometime in the new year. I'll drop you an email.

Sze Wing Choi: Thank you Sze. Looking forward to speaking with you more about this soon.
Also, the following thread is of the same topic in case you're looking for even more feedback....

Thanks for posting this, Sam! Even better than just editing multiple records at once would be something with the spreadsheet-like functionality that Airtable has. For example, we use Airtable to track thousands of lessons that we schedule. Typically, our students take lessons on a weekly basis (e.g., every Monday at 7pm for 20 consecutive weeks). On a spreadsheet, we can enter the initial two times the class occurs and then drag down, automatically populating each row with the subsequent week (or use a simple formula). This is probably a lot more difficult to develop than applying the same edit to multiple records, but I thought I would just elaborate a bit more on what would be ideal for our business :)
