Hi Serg,

I changed the value name of a checkbox field after records have selected it. When I search I see both options in the search. For example. I had a value where users could select their favorite color. It used to say purple. Users have made that selection that was saved in their record. I decided to change the value to read violet. New users only see this selection but when I seach records I now see Purple and Violet. I would like to mass change all the old Purple Selections to now select violet. Is there a way to do this without going through each record to make the change?

Thanks in advance for all the help.

You cannot mass change. But for future you can use language keys to field values. For example you have Purple you could add language key PURPLE="Violet". Or better add values of fields like so COLOR_RED and then create translation.

NoNumber.nl DB Replacer might be helpful. Quite visual for a database tool.
(Always make backups first!!!)
