# MassUpdateActor
The MassUpdateActor inherits from the BeanActor and is used for mass tagging. Both interfaces are quite similar, but the function mode is different: This actor pulls the beans to be changed from the LocationManager, where they were previously put in by the corresponding operation. The beans are used for the later mass tagging and for filling an assigned ListActor.
Concerning data management, this actor is extended by the possibility to capture the overwrite mode as well as the null-setting of the individual fields.
The MassUpdateActor is used where the BeanActor would be used otherwise, but performs other actions: For example, when saving, a mass tagging is triggered that affects all held beans. Not only directly entered values, but also the mass tagging options take effect. Also, the check whether operation "Save" becomes active is partially adapted to the circumstances of the mass tagging.

# Parameter
# Parameters in the Layout
In the layout interface, there is just two changes compared to the BeanActor:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| listActor | ListActor | This actor is used to display the beans selected for the mass tagging in a list. |
Additionally, option loadCurrentBean is disabled. It makes no sense for mass tagging.
