How can I edit multiple transactions in which the "action" is incorrect?

Question

Specifically, my downloaded VOYA 401K weekly deposits (usually 14 separate deposits) have for the last few weeks been shown as "Bought" instead of "BoughtX".  This causes an increasing erroneous cash deficit in the account.  The only way I have found to correct it is to edit each transaction manually, which is a ridiculous inconvenience. This began happening on Oct 12, 2022.  Before that the transactions were properly coded. What to do?

I more or less solved the problem by entering a deposit in the amount of the cumulative cash deficit, returning the cash amount to $0.00.  I agree that the best way to resolve this would be to report the payroll amount deposited in the download.  I don't know whether VOYA doesn't download it or Quicken doesn't report it.  We'll see if Quicken addresses this issue in any way.

Thanks Rocket and Chris for helping out!

@Rocket J Squirrel thanks.  With that I was able to reproduce what you got.  I think the message at the bottom of the dialog is what is in error.  I have never seen a way to change the action of an investment transaction except for one at a time by editing it in the register.

Find & Replace is not involved.
It results from clicking Find at the upper right of an investment register. That presents the dialog below. Find All results in the Search Results window I showed above.
