Update Customer Linking Parameters in Bulk via E-Collection Quick Update Cloud App
Please add the ability to update customer linking parameters (such as the Gale location ID) in bulk via the E-Collection Quick Update Cloud App.
As Ex Libris moves away from centrally configuring linking parameters for different interfaces, it would save so much time to be able to do this in bulk via the cloud app.

I also agree completely with Elizabeth's comment for this functionality to be available by a job embedded within Alma and completely supported within that product, rather than a Cloud App.

I second Elizabeth York's comment from November 15, 2024.

I voted for this request, but I'd like to note that many libraries do not use Cloud Apps due to security concerns or technical limitations of the apps, so as part of implementing this idea, I suggest the option to update electronic-collection level linking parameters should also be built into the Change Electronic Collection Information job in Alma.
For context, I'd like to share the link to the November 2024 release notes that made it so customer linking parameters are configured at the electronic collection level for CDI database collections: Possibility to Define Linking Parser Parameters for Database Collections in Collection Level to be Used by CDI Direct Linking: https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Release_Notes/2024/Alma_2024_Release_Notes?mon=202411
