I have a column that is a boolean in every recrd. it’s toggled on if the recrd is reviewed. how do toggle them back off with a single operation.  
I can create a toggle per record. but i want to reset that field for ALL of the records.

> I implemented a feature that allows you to edit values across an entire column, similar to the solution discussed [here](https://community.glideapps.com/t/bulk-clear-edit-restore-and-delete-columns-plus-undo-action/59546), but using the official Glide API in a compliant manner. For this example, I configured a choice component that enables you to select the rows you wish to edit. There’s a button that allows you to select all rows or clear your selections. This flexibility lets you choose whichever rows you need to update. Once you’ve made your selections, you can set a new value for a specific …

> There have been several requests for people to find a way to clear a value in multiple rows. I was thinking about that and came up with a quick example of a way to handle that. Instead of trying to clear a value in an entire column, I realized we could just change one value on a parent column, load it as a single value in our sheet and then compare that parent value to a column that we set or unset for each row.
