Bulk update a single field from Smart Lists is missing
Full Dev Ticket A (Product) — Bulk update a single field from Smart Lists is missing Classification: Feature Request / Improvement (possible regression if it existed before) Title: Contacts → Smart Lists: restore/enable “Bulk Actions → Update Field” for selected contacts in subaccounts Summary: User needs to bulk update one contact field for a filtered group of contacts inside a subaccount using Contacts → Smart Lists. The UI no longer shows an “Update Field” bulk action (or equivalent), so the user cannot complete a basic batch maintenance task. Impact: Affects: subaccount users doing list cleanup, segmentation prep, migrations, or workflow-ready field standardization Severity: High (forces manual edits or external workarounds) Frequency: whenever bulk field changes are needed Steps to Reproduce: In a subaccount, go to Contacts. Open Smart Lists. Apply filters to create a target list. Select contacts (checkboxes / select all). Open Bulk Actions (or the top action bar). Expected Result: A bulk action exists to update a single standard/custom field for all selected contacts (e.g., “Update Field”), allowing value entry + confirmation. Actual Result: The “Update Field” bulk update option is not present, and user cannot find a supported method to bulk update one field from Smart Lists. Evidence (from transcript): User: “I want to bulk update one field… I cannot see how to do that.” User: “This feature no longer exists.” Workarounds Tried: Attempted Smart Lists + Bulk Actions workflow; could not locate an update-field option. Suggested Fix / Acceptance Criteria: Add/restore a bulk action: Bulk Actions → Update Field (or equivalent) from Smart Lists / Contacts list. Works for standard + custom fields. Supports overwrite (set value) and ideally clear value. Confirmation dialog includes: number of contacts affected, field name, new value. Admin permission gating if needed (but feature exists for authorized roles). Priority Recommendation: P1 Because bulk update is a fundamental CRM operation and the absence creates significant manual effort and errors.
