Hi,

I'd like to bulk change the author for multiple records, is this possible?

I have 1000's of records and doing it by hand is a bit boring. :-)

I do also have my records organsied by category, so it would even be nicer to bulk assign a new author for all records in a category.

Thanks for your time,

Dale.

Ah, oops, didn't spot that - thanks.

I'm very scared to hit the "Run Tool" straight away! :-) ... I assume there are further options and confirmations after I hit "Run Tool".

Thanks again,

Dale.

I already requested to create a "complete" J! admin menuItem for Cobalt. Quite some time ago! -> @Sergey ;) ;) ;)
The current one hides too many links in the split-menu.

Sorry, can't recall it. Make a backup in any case!!!
I suggest to play with it on a second J! demo installation.
