I’ve not yet been able to make bulk actions work effectively. I’m wondering if I’m missing something or if it its a bug. I have an action button that effectively copies a record by creating a new record and filling in values from the old. When I enable bulk actions it creates the correct number of records based on how many were selected but the values are not correctly filled (they are left blank). The action button works fine on individual records consistently but I’ve never been able to make bulk actions work. Help? ---

I also got stuck with this, works fine for 1 record but not multiple ---

I didn’t change anything on my end, but re-enabled bulk editing a couple weeks ago and now it works fine for me. @Landbronx I’m not sure if there’s a trick to it but I have it working well in 2 different applications now. ---

Ok cool! What do your actions look like? I was thinking maybe it has something to do with the phrasing being singular: “a new record”, but cant see any alternative. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/noloco/original/1X/f0ac090b8922c2af862c9e21733837bac17242e5.png) ---

No that shouldn’t be the issue. I have one that uses bulk action to copy records (often dozens at a time) using create new record: ![Screenshot 2024-03-13 at 8.35.49 AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/noloco/original/1X/850023e6db5cedf92e7070c9d3b145c2a728264e.png) and one that updates bulk records: ![Screenshot 2024-03-13 at 8.36.20 AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/noloco/original/1X/fc2b3a8592a80c57184a2edc2b71502aee41f531.png) Are you sure you’re clicking the bulk action button that appears at the top of the collection and not the button on an individual record? ---

Embarssingly… yea that was actually it. And that I had “modal” and not “one click”, thank you very much! ---

@carlos una consulta, es posible sacar el action button “inline”, y dejar solo el boton in bulk at the top? Y si lo quiero aplicar a uno solo, selecciono el checkbox de uno solo… Lo consulto porque a nivel UX es confuso cuando hay varios botones (Aqui debajo unas imagenes a modo de ejemplo) Aqui debajo se ve claro la UX medio desprolija ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/noloco/original/1X/26497b78c81a55c4eefa4bbc4c0bf090c6710f91.png) Aqui se ve mas prolijo si solo estuviese on top ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/noloco/original/1X/d2fe665d9fca054b32cfe7484a7bedad470e3149.png) Muchas gracias!! ---

@Sebastian por la captura, asumo que es un record page. En este caso, puedes agregar un componente de action button y posicionarlo encima de la colección, así los botones no aparecerán encima del record. Creo que puedes obtener los resultados que quieres de esta manera. ![Action button component](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/noloco/original/1X/77bdd4a4ad06b10308101a042d2cfd66c0d1057b.png) ---

Hola Carlos, el tema es que la record page es de una tabla de airtable la cual no es la misma que los records que quiero modificar entonces se me esta complicando. Tu tendrías un calendly y te busco un slot para resolver dos grandes dudas que tengo? Gracias!!
