# Update Selected Dialog Box

This dialog box enables you to update a field value for multiple records in a grid or a tree.

To access | Right-click selected multiple records and select Update Selected. Available from the following modules: Requirements, Test Plan (Test Grid only), Test Lab (Execution Grid tab), Build Verification, and Defects.
Note | When updating required fields, you can value the `BULK_ACTION_IGNORE_REQUIRED_FIELD` site parameter with ‘Y’ in order to bypass checking that required fields are valued before performing an update of multiple entities.

Update Field | Identifies the field to be updated. Version Control: If the field is non-versioned (meaning, the field's data are not saved with each version), an asterisk (*) is displayed as a prefix to the field name in the Update Field list. The checkout operation is bypassed when performing an Updated Selected operation on non-versioned entities. For details on setting a field as a versioned/non-versioned, see the Micro Focus Application Lifecycle Management Administrator Guide: Versioned.
Value | The replacement value for the selected field.
Ignore Errors | Bypasses errors and continues to update the selected field.
Add to Current Values | This option is available if the selected field is defined as such that it allows you to select more than one value from a list. Enabling this option, will not replace the current value. Instead, the new value will be added and the old value will remain. Note: Available if the Allow Multiple Values option is enabled for this field. For more details, see Customizing Project Entities.
Advanced | Enables you to update multiple field values at once.
Update | Indicates the number of values that were updated, and the number of instances where the values were not updated.
