You may notice that when you use bulk edit on Contacts, the Parent Customer field is disabled, not allowing you to assign an Account to a group of Contacts.
You can enable this field, to allow editing by doing the following:
1) Export the Contact entity xml
2) Edit the XML
a. Search for “Parent Customer” or whatever you have named that field
b. Find the following line
<event name="setadditionalparams" application="true" active="true">
c. Set the ‘BehaviorInBulkEditForm’ attribute
<event name="setadditionalparams" application="true" active="true" BehaviorInBulkEditForm="EnabledButNoRender">
3) Import the XML and publish
You should now be able to edit the Parent Customer field when bulk-editing Contacts.
The following options can be used:
- Disabled – does not allow editing
- Enabled – allows editing of the field
- EnabledButNoRender – allows editing of the field, but does not fire OnChange events associated with the field.
