  Hi

  , if you open the Network tab in your browser and try to make a bulk update, do you see a failed request?

  
  
  

  Another thought, on the collection you are trying to update, do you have update access set to true?

  
  

  access: {
    update: () => true,
  }

  thanks for the tips! Update is not set to true, that would be a bit of a security issue, i tested this but made no difference. I do see an error message in the json response of the failed request. The slug field should be invalid which is strange, because i can for example bulk edit the title, but not a category and editing this page via the normal way is always successful.

  
  
  

  Found it: When doing a bulk update, only that field is set. In my case, there is a validation hook on the slug which throws an error because the value is undefined, even when the field is required.

  For future reference: the types within the hooks are correct. They are for example string | undefined for the field hook and string[] | Category[] for a collection hook. The behavior between a single update and bulk update is different: With a single update, only the id's of a relationship are set and with a bulk update the full related collection item is returned so you have to do a bit of type checking when creating hooks. Something to keep in mind.
