How to update all records in Confiforms via Action button

[its moi]

I have a Confiforms form with an assigned tableview. I have added an action button to update

id=[entry.id]&f1=test

I would like to display the button only once in a view above my tableview and update all records when clicking this button (which is only displayed for one particular record). 

Is that possible, and when yes, how? 
I tried to achieve this with an IFTTT which is acting "on modified" but I am not sure how to get all datasets updated. Maybe this is not even the right way. 

Thanks for any help.

You can actually initiate a bulk update... we have a "Update by filter" action in IFTTTs. This can update multiple records at once

And you can have a IFTTT that reacts on the field change and that field change can be instantiated via the action button

Hi Alex ,

We have multiple records created with confiform and we would need some changes in the already created records.

So we are looking for the bulk update and i have arrived on this page but will need more info about how to use IFTTT by update filter.

Is this a one-time task?

Consider looking into using the REST APIs - https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/REST+API 

Especially the methods to update specific field with desired value for multiple records at ones (by specifying a filter)

As far as I have worked with ConfiForm, there is no one button to update anything from the UI component. IFTTT will only trigger an action: OnCreated or OnModified for a particular entry when the event occurs.

I found a way to do bulk-update via custom javascript and Confiform update APIs.

Hi Rohit,

Could you please provide me with more details on how you were able to edit multiple records with just one edit button and save them?

Thanks,
