Hi everyone! I thought it would be easy, but it is not. I am trying to add a bulk action to a table, but can’t figure out how to do it.
Any advise would be highly appreciated! Thank you!
Can you elaborate please?
What exactly do you mean by bulk action?
Yes sure, here is an example from another service. I need to be able to choose several lines(rows) from a table and delete them (chosen or all). Or most importantly I need to be able to choose and Approve all of them at once (see Glide screenshot)
Okay, two separate use cases there.
- Deleting multiple rows at once: create a query or multiple relation that matches all the rows you want to delete, then use a Delete Row action that targets that query/multiple relation.
- Updating multiple rows at once: for this you have two options:
– Option 1: Use the Glide API
– Option 2: Use a server-side workflow with a loop
Both of the above options require a paid plan, and server-side workflows require a Business or Enterprise plan. My personal preference is to use the Glide API, as it is much faster than workflow loops.
Below is a (quite old) video that demonstrates one way to do it:

Thank you very much, Darren! Much appreciated for this.
And do these option give a chance to choose several lines (2 out of 50) and for example Approve them?
Yes, you could do that.
