If you want to change the weight unit of all the existing products to g, then create a new mass action via the menu System>Mass actions and add an action "update the value" on the field "product_weight_unit" and set the string "g" to it. Then run the mass action and that's it.

System message follows: "Save success" and "Incorrect type for this column, type is decimal unsigned" And when checking an already existing product it's still kg as the default value even if g is above kg in the drop down meny.

Thanks!")* Hi, Sorry fo rlate response... here it is. [ ![500](http://www.metebutiken.se/mass_action.png) ](http://www.metebutiken.se/mass_action.png "500") I wonder if it also is possible to do a mass action in order to change the number of products that are displayed in the category view? If you select a product category in the left menu on my site it display 21 products per page, this is not optimal when I have 4 products per row so instead I would like to display 20 or 24 products. The problem is that I have a lot of categories and I don't want to change one by one. Last edit: 11 years 9 months ago by [LAMF](/forum/user/8669-lamf "View LAMF's Profile").

The best solution will probably be to edit the associated content module of your category listing content menu/module through "*HIkashop->Display->Content menus/modules*" and use the "number of items" option.

Actually, if you leave the option empty in all your listings options, they will automatically use the default value of the configuration and thus, you can change the number of elements of all the listings of the shop at once by simply changing the default value of the configuration in that case. But since your modules/menus don't have that field empty, you'll have to modify all of them manually.
