Is there a way to apply custom fields by category?

[z-analysts]

I have a store with 350 products and 300 of them need a custom field which is the same for all products. Is there a way to assign custom fields en-masse? Or does this have to be done one product at a time? I'm looking for a time saving method.

Joomla 2.5.11
PHP 5.3.16
VM 2.0.20b

Thank you!

you could do this by importing directly into the database


OR: if the customs are not price variants. Just like color etc.
You could add them fast with my plugin

, but you would have to open each product

OR:
you could try csv improved

Thanks PRO, I ended up getting help from my client and we took the one product at a time approach.

I have the same issue. I have about 30 extra fields (with a price on each) and I want to apply them to all my products. I did in one product but it takes a lot of time. I didn't find a way to do it. Can you explain how we can do?
