I'm trying to delete a site where another site has assets assigned
to the default metadata set in the site I'm deleting. I'm trying to
reassign the default meta data set via a bulk change operation.<br>
Looking at all the relationships to the default metadata set I
check all the boxes for the assets I want to reassign, then I go to
Tool -> Bulk Change and I presented with the start of the bulk
change operation where it asks for the base folder and it I want to
include the descendants of folder. This is where I get
confused.<br>
After trying the operation a number of times I still see that same
number of relationships, including incorrect ones, for the default
metadata set in the site I'm trying to delete.<br>
Hope this makes sense.<br>
I appreciate any assistance.<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Tom</p></div>gardnerttag:help-archives.hannonhill.com,2010-02-09:Comment/371313602015-06-15T18:51:45Z2015-06-15T18:51:45ZPerform bulk change on metadata<div><p>Hi Tom,</p>
<p>Our apologies for the confusion here. The Bulk Change tool and
Relationships tabs for a given asset are two separate concepts
within Cascade. In order to perform the bulk change, you would need
to use the Bulk Change tool, optionally include sub-folders, and
select the assets you wish to change.</p>
<p>Note: the Bulk Change tool only deals with Home Area assets, so
if the Metadata Set is referenced by Content Types, you will need
to also update those separately.</p>
<p>If you are familiar with <a href="http://www.hannonhill.com/kb/Web-Services/">Web Services</a>,
updating the Metadata Set could be simpler because you would be
able to loop over the Metadata Set's relationships and update each
programmatically (differs depending on the type of asset).</p>
<p>Please let me know if you have any questions.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p></div>Ryan Griffith
