Topic: Batch update to flag records as "confidential"

I  need to update all taxon occurrences in a particular survey to "confidential". I can do this one by one in the Taxon Occurrence right hand pane, but there are over a thousand of them and I don't really want to do this a thousand times. I can't find anything on the Forum (searched under keyword confidential) or within Recorder that specifically covers what I want to do (unless I've missed something). Is there an existing Batch Update or one that can be adapted for this purpose?

Hi
There's this one: LCBU10- Change Confidential flag for selected taxa but I can't find it now so I'm not sure where it was downloaded from. Its a Mike Weideli xml hence the LC code. We adapted this for our purposes.

Weirdly our version shows up on the run menu but we can't find it in the batch update folder where it purports to be.

Re: Batch update to flag records as "confidential"

I have adapted a Batch Update which was originally designed to change the checked  field. It runs, but plesae make sure you have a back up and check the results before adding any new data to your system.
