I wanted to know if glide big tables will ever have a feature where you can automatically change column values across 1000s of rows in just one click. Like setting column values, but for 1000s of rows.

#sql  
#big-tables

It’s not just for Glide Big Tables, this has been requested for a long time but apparently there’s no traction.

You can use the API to batch calls and change the values though, if you’re storing them in basic columns.

Oh alright. So it’s better to find a workaround with the API call for now.

I was hoping that they would be coming out with some basic automations to mutate multiple rows.
