Batch Update/Rename of Custom Fields?

bruce_menzel

Hello,

I have imported a number of fields from an excel spreadsheet into 1PW. The fields show up as Field 6, Field 7, Field 8, etc. The fields are the same across all of the records I imported and I was trying to find a way to rename them in batch (i.e., Field 7 for all records would be renamed to "Location" or something like that). Is that possible in 1PW version 5?

Thanks!

Hi @bruce_menzel,

Select the items you want changed, and export them as a 1PIF. Then, in a text editor, open the file inside the bundle named "data.1pif", and do a Find and Replace and change all occurrences of "Field 7", for example, to "Location". Use the most specific pattern you can, to be sure to match the Field 7 only where applicable. The text will look like this:

"t":"Field 7"

and so you might want to search and replace all of that text with:

"t":"Location"

to be sure that you only change the correct labels. Then, import the 1PIF file.

Be sure to make a Backup of your vault first, just in case something goes wrong on import.

Also be sure to securely delete the 1PIF when you are done.
