You can modify the values of attributes of several artifacts at the same time.
During the change of relationships of artifacts en masse, please note that while a
parent artifact can have several child artifacts, the reverse is not true. Therefore, child
artifacts are not amenable to bulk edit and may only be cleared from the bulk edit screen.
Most of the attribute values can be changed; for example, list-single select, list-multi
select, short-description. Long text attributes cannot be changed using this function.

During this mass change, you may have chosen an invalid value for a State attribute. For
example, if you had chosen the status "Reopened" for an artifact that was
never "Closed", the system will alert you to this wrong choice. However, if
25 failures occur before any artifacts are updated, the bulk update will terminate. You will
then have to go back and make valid changes.
