There are times in which we need to change many things at the same time in a board, whether it's a custom attribute or even the normal attributes.
For example, if there was a change in the name of the buyer, it might be necessary to edit the "Client name" custom attribute. Or even change the status of many cards.
Is this possible to do in Placker? The answer is... yes! And for this the process is basically:
Export the board to a spreadsheet
Edit the spreadsheet using Excel or Google sheets, for example
Import information back again to Placker
Check if the attributes were correctly updated
Here is a detailed step-by-step using a website development project as a use case:
Export the board to a spreadsheet
First export your data to a spreadsheet file by following the steps in this article.
Edit the spreadsheet using Excel or Google sheets, for example
On a spreadsheet editor, Excel for instance, make the edits that are needed. You can delete the columns that will not be updated, but make sure to keep the "Placker ID", because this is the identifier used to locate each card.
Import information back again to Placker.
Reimport the board by following the steps in this article. Make sure to match the attribute columns with the corresponding Placker attributes, including Placker ID and all the ones that will be edited.
