How do I change several custom fields at once?
On Custom fields, tick the checkbox to the left of each field: a bar appears at the bottom with the bulk actions. The action applies to every selected field right away.
Required role: authenticated workspace member.
Select the fields
- Open Custom fields and choose Contacts or Opportunities in the left menu.
- Tick the checkbox of each field you want to change. The checkbox in a group header selects, at once, the fields of that group already on screen.
- The pill on the bar shows how many fields are selected. Its × clears the selection.
Switching between Contacts, Opportunities and Inactive clears the selection, so an action never lands on fields that are not on screen.
Available actions
The first actions are buttons on the bar; the rest are under More mass actions.
Deactivate and reactivate
Deactivating is the same as Delete field in the field panel: segments and automations that depend on it stop working. Values already filled in are kept.
To reactivate:
- Click Inactive at the bottom of the left menu. The number next to it is how many inactive fields the scope has.
- Select the fields and click Activate.
- To go back to the regular list, click Back to active or Inactive again.
A choice field (single select, multi select or radio) with no filled-in option cannot be reactivated. If one is among the selected fields, nothing is changed and you see the message Campos de seleção sem opções não podem ser reativados with the field names. Open each one, add at least one option and try again.
