That depends on how you are passing the new values through initially.

If you're posting to a route with the new values, you could set up a custom method to do something like

public function multiUpdate()
{
    $newValues = Input::get('values');

    foreach ($newValues as $key => $value) {
        $tableData = Model::findOrFail($key);

        $tableData['column'] = $value;

        if (!$setting->save()) return Redirect::back()->withInput()->withErrors($setting->errors());
     
    }

    return Redirect::back()->with('Success', "Table was successfully updated!");
}

Yeah, thats horrible, because you are running a query for each update. 1000 users? 1000 queries. Not good.

This is a terrible solution and I'm still trying to find something better. I have to update ~10k rows and doing them like this is SLOW :(

This is from the official docs:

$affectedRows = User::where('votes', '>', 100)->update(array('status' => 2));

Sorry, didnt really read the question. This will not produce the CASE WHEN you're asking for. But it's still better than going through all records (inlcuding a select)

I have actually asked this exact question. If anyone has any idea how to do this it would be greatly appreciated.

why not just do a raw query? i know it's not the eloquent way but in your case this will give you better performance.
