What is the easiest way to Bulk edit over 700 projects to change actual completion date?

I have tried making current and adding form and completing - doesn't trigger date change.

 

is there a way to bulk add a one task template and set it to complete? I REALLY REALLY don't want to manually go into each project and add a task and complete.

 

and No we do not have fusion =(

 

help???

here's a bare minimum kickstart file. You don't need a lot of info going in there. Probably just add a planned completion date or whatever. Try it with one task and see if you can get it to work.

Hi @tegwynst1,

 

If these 700 projects were all originally based upon a common Template, I invite you to consider:

 

  • create a filter that returns those 700 projects
  • adding the new Template Task to the Template
  • use our Sync Template solution to automatically push that new Template Task to all of those 700 projects
  • if all 700 then need the same Actual Completion date, do so with a filter and Bulk Update
  • if each of the 700 have unique Actual Completion dates, do so using our Excel Updater solution

Regards,

Doug

If I had to guess who I might hear from on this it would be you and Skye lol.

Thank you Doug - we are over budget right now as it is but I will take a look - whatever we do it has to be done early next week.

    Can you use a kickstart to add the task?

      Hi Skye! - this seems promising? but I haven't had much practice using them. I'll have to do a little research.

      Thank you Skye!!!!

      I tested it out in sanbox and it worked PERFECTLY!!!

      I can't tell you how excited I am to use this today in production and let the magic free me of over probably 10 hours of tedious manual task adding and completing!

        Hi - is it all the same date?

        @christinajay  I am doing in batches but date didn't matter to me, as long as it was "now" or "this week" for an automation to pick them up.

        I use an excel file similar to what Doug suggested - I paste the project #s into a column and through concatenation and what not it will give me the text mode for the filter. Then I just edit in bulk. 

         

        If you think that would be helpful, happy to share.
