I would like to "global edit" the "Notes" fields in the Flextables of various elements (pipes, junctions, hydrants, etc.), but I have not found a way to do so.
Right clicking on the "Notes" column header does not give me the option to global edit the field.
Is there a way to do this?
Hello Gary,
It looks like the Global Edit feature is not available to the Note property in the flextable. As a workaround, copying and pasting into this field is available. You could copy the data into Excel, make the changes there using any relevant feature (like Fill Down), and then paste the updates back into the notes field. I have updated the global edit wiki with this information.
Regards,
Scott

I was thinking that global editing was not available for fields like "Notes", but thought I would ask anyway just to confirm.
Thanks.
Another option would be to use a User Data Extension. You could make this Text based and include it the element flextable. Global Edit is available for these.
Thanks Scott, that's good to know. I had briefly wondered about using a User Data Extension but didn't pursue it.
