Here's a script that I use for setting a column (pop-up or not) of a  
multiple row selection:

tell front document of application "OmniOutliner Professional"
	-- Get column to edit
	set theColumnNames to name of every column
	set theChoice to choose from list theColumnNames with title "Column  
Selector" with prompt "Choose the column whose value should be changed"
	if (theChoice is false) then return
	set theChoice to (item 1 of theChoice)
	set theReply to display dialog "Enter the new value for cell " &  
theChoice default answer "" with title "Value Entry"
	set theValue to (text returned of theReply)
	set value of cell theChoice of selected rows to theValue
end tell


Cheers,

Curt
