1. Have Checked “Make a customized attribute modification”

2. Entered the attribute Name – Where I need to modify

3. Attribute Value

4. Check “MultiValued Append”

— Why yo Choose “MultiValued Append”

If there is Entry already available – Where some attributes have multiple entries – It does not going to remove the Existing ones.

Instead adds an Extra entry to the same attribute

— Check or Uncheck – Depends on your situation –

By default you can check it Cause it won’t bring you harm if you happen to edit a attribute which has multiple values

5. Choose Go

It will add the Entries on all the Chosen objects
