Mass update custom field in email

[irideso]

Hello,

In the ESPOCRM documentation it is indicated that with the Layout Manager it is possible to customize the list of fields visible in "Mass Update". This is indeed the case in the Leads example in the documentation.

But it is not possible to customize Mass Update for e-mails.

How do I Mass update a custom field in Emails ?

Hi,

You can do it manually. Create a file custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/layouts/Email/massUpdate.json

[
    "parent",
    "teams"​,
    "yourCustomField"
]

Then clear cache.

Another simpler way is open Layout Manager> Leads> Mass Update

The URL will be http://yourdomain/#Admin/layouts/scope=Lead&type=massUpdate

Replace Lead with Email.

The new URL will be http://yourdomain/#Admin/layouts/scope=Email&type=massUpdate

Very cool method, especially Not for developers (when there may be problems with permissions or with syntax after creating the file).

I can say that both yuri's option works and dreginald's also works. After using the dreginald method, we have the same file created in custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/layouts/Email/massUpdate.json as in the yuri method.

I don't recommend using this method. Usually, if something is not available for a specific entity it's for reason to prevent users for breaking something. It's a lapse that it's possible to access something via URL which is supposed to be hidden. We should fix it.

yuri Yes you are right. I wanted to bring such possibility to your notice.` The same is possible with Entity Manager also
