Intro

This option will create new metafields for all resources that match the configured filters (if any). If no filters were applied, metafields will be created for all entities of the given resource type. If a metafield with a matching namespace and key already exists, its type and value will be updated with the ones you specified while configuring the bulk editor.

1) Type selector;

2) Namespace input;

3) Key input;

4) Value input.

Otherwise, such metafields won't be affected by the update.

Running multiple bulk edits

You can configure up to 3 concurrent bulk edits. If you want to create or update more metafields, press the Add new action button and repeat the process:
