Follow the below steps:

Without selecting any products, click on the three dot menu and select Bulk Edit.

Select Label Type window will pop up with two options to upload products for bulk edit - 'Upload CSV' or 'Spreadsheet Table'.

To Upload CSV

Click on Next.

After clicking on Next, you'll be asked to Upload CSV. Either drop a CSV file or browse the required file from your system and upload it.

Click on Upload file then click on Next.

The spreadsheet table will get displayed.
Click on Next.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Make sure the product codes added are all valid.
Also if you are adding the custom fields, make sure they are valid. The custom fields can be edited in the spreadsheet itself. As soon as the update process gets completed successfully, you can close the window.
In case the custom field is a checkbox - you can make any text entry like true-false, yes-no, 0-1 or off-on.
In case the custom field is a date field - enter date in yy/mm/dd format.
If the custom field is a picklist or drop-down list, make sure all the values present in the list are entered in the CSV file.

Do not close the window or click on the Back button while the update process takes place

After the update process is completed successfully, close the window and the process will end. Custom fields for the mentioned product codes will get updated.

If the spreadsheet table contains only product codes, click on Next to proceed with further steps.
