Add Global edit
legacy Refworks has global edit function, so I can edit language field at once. Thus, it is good for if my output style has two definition for different languages. However, New RefWorks has bulk edit function as similar as Global edit, but there is no function for editing languages filed.

I am happy to update that the following fields were added to the bulk edit feature as part of the February RefWorks release:
Authors
Language
Reference Type
Title
DOI

I think it would be a great idéa to add fields to the Bulk edit function. For example, the field Author or All fields. That way I could search for example for the author Bostrom and replace it with Boström.
I also wish that it would be possible to use Bulk edit in a search result. As it is now, if I search for references in RefWorks, I can not use the Bulk edit function in the list of found references.

With multiple users, I'm finding creative variations of the same author name. Especially a problem for articles by government agencies. For example, I would like to globally change all the various entries to "United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA)", rather than going through them one-by-one

Will the author field be added as well? The author field is still missing in the bulk editing function.

And implement GlobalEdit to all fields as Legacy allows
