QuickMultiAttributeEdit3 Built into QGIS 2.16 as Multi edit mode

QGIS 2.16 and later do the main job of QuickMultiAttributeEdit3 natively, with Multi edit mode. You can use that instead of installing the plugin. Edit › Edit Attributes › Modify Attributes of Selected Features sets field values on every selected feature at once, as does the attribute table's multi edit mode.

How to use Multi edit mode

  1. Toggle editing on the layer and select the features you want to change.
  2. Choose Edit › Edit Attributes › Modify Attributes of Selected Features.
  3. Fill in only the fields you want to change. The values are applied to every selected feature.
  4. Undo reverts the change for all of those features in one step.
  5. For a single field, the attribute table's quick field calculation bar with Update Selected does the same.
