I want to mass update the dimensions of the minifigs in my inventory.

Is it possible using the BrickLink user interface? Or should I look into a solution
using inventory download, adjusting the fields on my computer and re-upload the
inventory?

Not on BL, you have to use xml files to mass edit dimensions. And do not do this
at least until BL has fixed the new improved inventory page which still does
not work. If you make your own dimensions and change anything (quantities, prices,
settings, tiers whatever) the z dimension become the same as the x dimension
and you have to redo everything you did for the dimension change in the first
case.

If you decide to continue, change all your minifigs to volume by downloading
your inventory, keeping the lot numbers and making the condition of INVTREATAS
equal to S.
Then set your dimensions with INVDIMX, INVDIMY and INVDIMZ for each individual
minifig or pick a standard dimension and copy that in. Upload the new xml file
as a mass update.

Make sure you keep backups of the files and edit them manually every time you
add, remove of sell a lot. See the below threads as well.
