Mass action help

Hi,

So, first to copy a product from one category to another, what you actually need to do is to add the new category to the list of categories of the product.
And when you create / edit a mass action of the type "product", you have an action "update the categories" which you can use with its mode set to "add" instead of "replace" and then the target category (or categories if you want to add the products to several categories at the same time) selected.
Since you have several categories from which you want to move the products, you'll have to do it one source category by one.

And to change the vendor, you can use the action "update the values" on the column "product_vendor_id" with the mode "int" and the value being the ID of the target vendor.

Hi,

Ah yes, I missed that part.
In that case you could do like that :
- create a mass action with two actions: one to "replace" the category to a target category, one to update the product_vendor_id to the value you want, and activate its "Actions as a button". This will add a button to the products listing with the name of the mass action.
- go on your products listing, go into one category, increase the number of elements per pages to make sure you see all the products and sort them by product id descending.
- use the global checkbox at the top left of the listing to select all the products of the category, and click on the "copy" button. This will duplicate all the products
- the page will refresh and you'll have all the products twice in that category, with the new ones being listed first.
- select all the new products (you can see that their product code has a random number at the end) and click on the mass action button you created earlier and it will move this products to their new category and change the vendor.

Then, rince and repeat for each category. It's a bit more work than being able to do everything with one mass action (which would be difficult as it would require custom development), but it's a lot faster than having to edit each product one by one.

Hi,

In your first mass action, make sure the first action is "update the values" on the column "product_alias" and use the operation mode with the value:

{product.product_code}

Hi,

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean by "Rebuilt the site on J4, and this worked. However, none of the variations for any products that have them were copied."
Please provide more context.
