Update Multiple Profiles in Bulk 

  1. Go to: People, then click on “Bulk Update User Custom Fields” found in the sidebar under Volunteers >> Custom Fields 
  1. Search for the desired profiles to change  
  1. Once the search is complete, select the Header from the dropdown list 
  1. Select the Custom Field from the dropdown list 
  1. Value: Select the new option to be applied to the selected profiles:
    • Set the desired value for every selected person, or 
    • Remove the existing option for every selected person

Note: The “Bulk Update User Custom Fields” feature will replace any existing data in a field, with the new data specified; once changed this cannot be undone. If, however, you are using this feature to update “long text” in a Custom Field, the data you enter will be added to the existing text in that field.
