Editing multiple items at once?

ejzejz
Is there a way to edit fields for more than one item at once? I know how to select more than one item at a time - but don't see a way to change type information at that point.

I have many citations stored in zotero as websites through snapshot feature, which is great. A lot of them are blog posts or reports, though, not web sites. Right now I have to go and change the item types one by one or add authors individually. Is there any way to select a several citations and change that information for all of them?

    Not at this point, no. The feature is planned in general.

    For now, one could do that using the Javscript API as mentioned here: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/client_coding/javascript_api

    Just install the ExecuteJS plugin in Firefox and then open a new tab and open Zotero there. Now, use ExecuteJS to execute your custom JS which modifies all the required items at once.
