Alex Valavanis 10 how to mass edit records in a custom object
Hello,
I want to create a way of mass uploadin fields on custom object "task". I installed mass edit/update but the instructions for custom objects are very old and they have not updated them. Anyway...
Is there a way of doing this (have no visual force / apex experience) - please see my screenshots

Also i noticed <apex:page standardController="TaskTest__c" recordSetVar="records">
I don't have a TaskTest__c i don't think.
Any advice appreciated. Thank you
1. First, go to developer console and create new VF page then paste this code there.
2.<apex:page standardController="TaskTest__c" recordSetVar="records"> put your custom object name as TaskTest__c.
3.<apex:page standardController="task__c" recordSetVar="records"> just like this.
4. You don't need to create any custom button.
5. Also, you can check API name of fields of your custom object. The API name may vary from API name of fields I use in my code.
Let me know if any problem occurs again. If you find my solution beneficial then mark it as the best answer.

Have you tried this?
http://dazeworks.com/appyninja/mass-update-edits-delete/
This is exactly what you are asking for.
Let me know if it helps.
What happens after that?
Because when i go to object "TASKS" i can NOT mass edit, so what i did is created a custom button "Mass Edit" (see below).
When i click on Mass Edit though, only 20 records appear. :( Please advice
If you get more than 20 records you need to create a custom controller and add your VF page. You can also use the custom button.
I will recommend you to start using trailhead to learn about Custom controller.
Please check URL below:

(Could you give me your email please?)
What happens if i want to create an "update" VF for the same object? Could you please tell me how the code will change?
