Similar to the proposed Smart Import Hub, where you can make corrections on the fly (which also occurs in processing automated batches in RE NXT)-what used to be called the Global Change Function has gone away. Now we have to use the import function to make a change.

The import function requires to upload a batch from RE into FE, copy that batch into Excel and make the changes needed, import the batch back into FE as a journal entry, and finally delete the original uploaded journal entry in FE. In database view, we could have chosen to globally change a field such as Journal Reference, type the changes in, and apply those changes to the entire field with one click.

Should we choose not to export the journal entry to Excel, we need to copy whatever changes I make to each cell of the journal entry and paste it into each. Our imported batches from RE can have over 400 lines, so we only do this on entries up to 60 or so lines. Even so, this is time consuming and ripe for errors.

I would like to see the global change feature from database view incorporated into NXT. We used to have global change, and it needs to return.
