June,
To get the age calculated and the order right in the chronology, you
have to have the date in the date field, so other work around solutions
won't work.
I've found a way using Search and Replace to replace a blank date field
but I don't think you're going to get enough information on the screen
to be able to decide if it's one you want to fill or not. You're just
told it's a census.
If you did an Event report just for census (From View - Master Lists -
Event ... - tag Census and do the report for only tagged events) that
would help unless you'd entered more than one census for the person.
Save the report as a pdf so you can search it to check as you do the
search and replace. It may be quicker.
Anyway, in case you can use it,
Search > Search and Replace
Find where: Dates-Event
Find what: [don't enter anything]
Replace with: 5 Apr 1891
It tells you which Event it's found with a blank date so you can skip
those that aren't Census and check those that are Census.

Sorry I should have said English. For example I have several hundred
people where I have entered details of the 1891 UK Census but have not
put the date in. I like to have the date as it then calculates age and
puts events in order.
At the moment I am going through each person individually, checking if
they have the 1891 census, then bringing it up and putting in the date.
I was hoping there would be a way to go to the Master event list of
something and put in the date so that when I close it it will put the
date in everyone who has that event.
Thanks – June

June,
Are you talking American Censuses where the date is different for each
entry or English censuses where the date is the same for a census year?
If the latter, you can make the process faster by creating a search
list for the Event and then using the Repeat function of clicking on
the date label to enter the actual date.
