Need to be able to bulk-update folders for an attribute we added. Round tripping apparently doesn't operate on folders. Editing this attribute of the folders in list view doesn't work, even though editing text and requirements with a similar attribute in list view works just fine. Aside from creating a script to hit the API's to do this, what other options to I have to update 200 folders?!

Thanks

Jason

    Is "batch edit" not working for you?

    Unfortunately, no. The tool doesn't appear to allow editing of the custom type attribute I need to edit. Even if it did, I need to make different edits to many different folders and my experience with Batch Edit is that it is best used for mass-application of the same change.

    In order to get things done I would define an advanced filter returning the relevant items. Based on the result of this filter I would edit by script (REST API) these items (PATCH endpoint)
