"Edit value" doesn't work

Product: Confluence Cloud

Component: Databases

Steps: select multiple rows → click "Edit value" → selection is cleared

Unable to edit multiple cells in a field at once.

When I select multiple rows and click Edit value, the selected rows are immediately deselected and the bulk edit dialog does not open. As a result, it is not possible to update the value of a field for multiple records simultaneously.

This issue occurs for all fields and is reproducible even when no filters or grouping are applied.

Hi @Ecaterina Dvornic, bulk editing in databases works on cells within a single column, not on whole rows, so selecting rows and clicking Edit value drops the selection instead of opening a dialog. Shift+click the cells you want in that one column, right click, and choose Bulk edit, then enter the value once and it applies to every selected cell.

If that exact gesture also clears your selection or won't open the dialog, then it's a real bug rather than the wrong entry point. Reproduce it once in an incognito window with browser extensions disabled (and ideally a second browser) to rule out a local cause, and if it still happens your repro steps are already clean enough to send straight to Atlassian Support. Atlassian's own walkthrough of the bulk edit gesture is here: Working with Confluence databases
