clear out field multiple update

[roxaneamanda1]

Hi,

I would like to do a multiple update and clear out the contents of a field but unfortunalty I get a message stating

Multiple update checked 1,636 records but no update data was provided

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks

the Update all function wont replace a current value with a empty null value

If it did every field would be updated when you used it.

Try adding a space into the field, to clear it.

Hi,

Multiple Update functionality works well only for adding content to the fields.

If you want to clear out the contents of a particular field, you need to write script for that. I would suggest you to clear the content using Background script.

Please mark answer as correct/helpful, if it was really helpful 🙂

What are you trying to Update and what is the approach?

Also, kindly tell what is the Field type that you are trying to update.

Hi, I am trying to update a field on 1635 user records, the field is a reference field.

I am not confident using a background script. I have tried a space but it wont accept that I get the same message as the origninal post.

Thanks everyone for your responses.
