All contacts are routing to voicemail

Question

I just noticed that everyone of my contacts has a new setting, "route to voicemail."  I've never noticed this before and I've been missing phone calls for the last couple of days.  Is there a way to modify that setting for my 400 contacts all at once?  I don't want to have to go into each contact and change that setting.  
Also, was this a recent change?

Hello Fred Lipschitz,
 
That is a recently resurrected setting.  It was a setting that caused a stir when it was briefly removed, and it has been restored.  
If, when you bring up a contact, the setting says, "route to voicemail," that does not mean that contact's calls have already been routed to voicemail, it just means you have the option to "route to voicemail."  If you select that option, the setting will change to read, "unroute to voicemail."  
Essentially, all your contacts should, by default, show the setting, "route to voicemail," which means that's an available option... it does not mean the contact's calls are currently being routed to voicemail. 
Best,
