Thanks for your kind words. Yes this is exactly what the new functionality does. It is a major advance. You are able to create a batch consisting of any of the fields available to you and populate them. This is a serious advance for, say importing gifts from a website. You often want to validate and check the data before adding the gifts and while I have created my own “batch” module for a client so that they can check the data before importing it, it is much better to use out of the box functionality.

Thanks so much for this tip. I’ve been waiting for and asking for this development. It looks like a great step forward, although having only just read your post and found out that this exists, and not having made the upgrade to RE7.82 yet, I’ve not been able to test it.

I take it though, that this will enable us to create a batch using the API but then use the normal batch screen and processes to check it, modify it, validate it, report on it and commit it?

Thanks again. I’m enjoying your blog,

David Wanless.
