Multi Edit view

The Multi Edit view enables you to edit commonly edited fields of multiple Work Items without triggering Edit mode for each one. What Work Items appear in the Multi Edit view depends on the current query in the Query Builder. You can add a comment or edit any of the data fields for items in the page. When finished, you click Save to update all the edited items in one operation. Changes made to an item apply only to that item.

The Multi Edit view has two display modes - flat, and hierarchical. You can switch between the presentation modes in the drop-down list to the right of the button. Note that the Tree presentation option is only available when the displayed data is filtered for a single work item type by selecting one of the types in the Navigation pane under the Work Items node. In Tree mode, the Query Builder has several additional fields that enable you to specify the role(s) of linked items, the maximum number of link levels to search, the direction of linking, whether or not to include repository commits in the search results, and whether or not to filter all levels.
