Manually mass edit assets
You can update the fields in multiple assets using the manual mass edit feature. This lets you edit specific asset fields and apply the same values to those fields across all selected assets. You can also mass edit assets based on an existing asset or template.
-
Make sure the metadata fields in the source match those in the selected assets.
When you manually mass edit assets, conditional members are included in results only when the condition on the mass edit page is met.
To manually mass edit assets:
-
On the menu bar, click Assets.
-
On the Assets page, select the assets you want to edit.
WarningIf the mass edit source contains a one-to-one relation, the mass edit job will fail for all the assets except the first one in the list. This is because a one-to-one relation cannot apply to more than one asset.

Click Actions
> Edit
. -
On the Manual tab, enter new values in all the fields you want to update for selected assets.
-
For each field, from the list next to it, select one of the following actions:
-
None - Does not modify the value or change the property of the field.
-
Replace - Overwrites the current value of the field.
-
Append - Adds information to a field, or adds taxonomy items to a list of related items.
-
Remove - Removes all items from a relation or removes the current value of a field.
-
Clear - Removes items from a relation.
NoteWhich actions are available depends on several factors, such as the configured member types and the mass edit settings.

Click Apply.
Applying a mass edit creates a mass edit job. You can follow the progress of the job on your Background processes page.
If the job fails due to unmet validation conditions, go to the Background Processes page and click Fix errors next to the failed job. You will be redirected to the Mass Edit page with only the failed entities selected, allowing you to re-edit them and resolve the validation issues.
