Update multiple records in list view

[griffin]

Not sure if this is possible but does anyone know how I can do the following:

I have list of students filtered by the course they are doing (course_id).

I want to update all students in that course who attended the course (course_attended) without having to go into each student's record. I'm hoping I can "batch" the students by selecting all the students that did attend in the list view and then update those selected to "attended".

I also want to be able to update the student's status once they have completed the exam (course_status - dropdown) to "Did Not Show", "Resit Required", or "Complete" - by the same method i.e. select all students that passed the exam and change their status to "Complete" etc.

Appreciate any advice on this.

Use php form plugin or use list php plugin if update selected row.

You can also use the updatecol list plugin

Thanks - update columns seems to be best and easiest solution at moment. Didn't see this before so thanks for pointing it out Troester.
