I want to be able to have an option where a user can select a group of entries to edit all at the same time. I could probably do that with a check box. I would want it this way so if all entries need the same changes made, they could do it once for many entries instead of repeatedly for every single entry.
I don't know if that makes sense at all but I basically want to use an update service to update more than one entry at a time.
Hello Ellen,
Sure, you can update multiple items at a time. You should combine "where" and "operations" parameters:

Ok I looked at that and found what I think I should do. I followed this part of the article and used it as a model for what I want to do. 
I want it so that if "yes" is in the update column of an item, it updates those values. Here is how I set it up in the request. 
Then I tried to test it but got an error. I don't have anything entered in the Query String or Headers part of the test. Do you know what I could've done wrong? 
Please remove "/{_id}" from the service's URL
Thank you for that. I think it is working. Now my next question is is there a way to change component with button click? I have a list of database items then I have a button that says "Select All". So once a user clicks that button, is there a way that it can change to a checkbox so a user can pick and choose which are selected?
Hello,
Sorry, but not clear enough, please tell more detailed.

Do you mean populated data should be shown in checkbox instead list after button being clicked?
Yes. Or another option could be it is shown in a checkbox right away but the box that gets checked does appear until they click a button.
You can check all checkboxes from checkbox group "mobilecheckboxgroupName" with nex JS code:preApperyio("mobilecheckboxgroupName").find("input").prop("checked", true).refresh();/pre
Ok thanks but not the real problem. I need to hide the input of the checkbox component so that just words are there.
Ellen,
This probably can be done with custom CSS.
