Just to be sure, I didn't say all the CF are common to all posts of the CPT (only some).
Would it still work?
Otherwise, another option would be to simply change the value directly in the database with some magic formula (that I don't have... yet). What do you think?
I don't know the magic code like that. If the field value is the same for some posts not all of them, you will need to update the value manually.
Or use the code like update_post_meta() within a loop.
Hello Péter, I'm sorry because reading your reply, I realize my last comment mislead you.
What I meant IS:
- some CF of my CPT have the same value for all posts and I'd like to bulk change them from time to time,
- others CF have a unique value for each post of this CPT.
In that case, is the settings page still a viable option according to you?
Or would it be the solution only if all the CF of that CPT had the dame value for all posts?
Use the settings page that lets you save/update the value in one place. Then you still need to use the custom code to update the value for fields in other posts. There isn't a solution with a few clicks to do that.
