Summary Bulk selection and bulk data management in tables should be considered a core, foundational feature of any no-code platform — not an vibe coding option.
Proposed Approach The implementation doesn’t need to be overly complex. Rather than building a fully generic bulk-action system, the platform could leverage existing built-in workflows:
User selects one, several, or all rows in a table
User chooses a workflow to trigger
The selected record IDs are passed to that workflow
The workflow handles the rest
This keeps the UI simple and the logic flexible — the heavy lifting lives in the workflow, not the UI layer.
Why This Matters No-code platforms should ship with a standard set of foundational UI primitives out of the box, including:
Filters
Tables & cards
Search
Charts/graphs
Bulk selection & bulk actions ← this is the gap
Bulk management of tabular data is not a power-user edge case. It’s a basic expectation for any data-driven application and should be treated as such.
Request Prioritize bulk row selection with workflow triggering as a first-class table feature.
Agreed this would be very nice to have - I expect that it isn’t trivial and the builder experience will require quite some design work as there are multiple options here. Bulk delete (probably the easiest), bulk edit (how to handle editing select field if records have different curent values, etc), sending to workflows (not sure this is the simplest option for our users).
We’ll be looking into this to see if / how we can make it happen this year.
This has unfortunately become a deal breaker for my application development with Softr. My company is very database/record heavy processing and the workarounds we have to create for bulk editing records aren’t sufficient for our work to really continue here. It’s genuinely a shame, I love working in Softr but this has been a struggle for a couple of years now and it doesn’t seem like this a priority. It’s been tough to see how much time and effort has been put into flashy AI and vibe coding when this feels like bulk editing is a foundational step in data management. We’ll still use Softr for non-core business applications here and there, but we we’re going to need to downgrade our plan and we need to switch to a more robust lo-code platform that can support this functionality natively.
Definitely plus-one on this feature request. One of our use cases is printing artwork labels. I want to be able to display a filtered dataset, select all or n records, and send the record data to a webhook which can initiate a label printing process. Meanwhile, @GuillaumeDuv was the reference to vibe coding an implication that we could - in the meantime - build this ourselves using that feature. We haven’t tried vibe coding yet, but could explore…
Yes, this is something you could build by asking “Create a table that allows to bulk edit the Status field after selecting multiple records with a checkbox”
The team works very hard to make to improve our platform across our 3 main products, we’re also aiming to improve the visibility for builders like you to be aware of these changes, but it isn’t an easy job
