Rick,
You didn’t mention which class these records were in, but most are in Base Element. If sandbox mode is on, then a mass update of the proper BMC.CORE form is the only way to do it. You can go directly to the specific class e.g. BMC.CORE:BMC_ComputerSystem to do the search and update. This will limit the number of records searched to just that class. You can then do the modify all from there.

I will give it a shot, though.

Just one field, all to the same new value. Just ise Modify All, right? Wrong. In Sandbox mode, Modify All is disabled. So I think what I have to do is create a new Sandbox dataset, pull a copy of the master dataset into it, do the Modify All there, then promote the changes. I miss anything?
