If multiple values can be defined in a cell, you will see the first value plus the number of additional values.

for the objects you want to edit. Change the value in the cell of one of the object you have selected. A bulk update editor displaying all of the selected objects will open with the valued changed for all objects. You can change the values in any other columns in the bulk update editor to change them for all objects. Click OK to apply your changes and close the editor. Click Cancel if the list of selected objects is not correct or you do not want to save your changes.
If you set values by means of the bulk update, the new value will overwrite all existing values.
