I see where you can change the field, but what we need is to change multiple users to multiple extensions

Ie.

tim jones - alternate extension was 5000 is now 6000

sarah steel - alternate extension was 3000 is now 5000

over 1000 users they have to change each semester.

In the bulk edit you can change the field but it only allows you to change it to the same number for everyone.

I need a way to use a file to change multiple people to multiple numbers at once

thanks!

The tool would allow them to change all of the users to a single alternate extension or manipulate their extension to make an alternate extension

But their alternate extensions do not correlate to their actual extensions. So the the bulk edit looks like it won't work.

Unless someone knows a way for it to work

Unfortunately there's no other way of doing it that I know of. You can export the data via an information dump (in tools depot) but there's no way of re-importing it with the changes.

The only other way is to possibly do it in SQL but I've looked at editing the tables and it doesn't look fun!

If Bulk is not enough I use SQL update query against Unity database. You need to be careful, but works great ;)
