This tool allows you to edit up to 5 fields for a list of items simultaneously.

When you've found the correct item(s), edit the field directly in the listing. There is no need to actively save your changes since MerchantOS is able to save the changes automatically for this particular listing.

This tool is only accessible to users with administrative rights. Items which are archived can always be recovered at a latter time.

You may edit the name directly in the listing. You can delete the option from the list by pressing the garbage can icon. Note that if you delete a list option, all items associated with that option will be set to none.
If you would like to merge two listing options, press the pencil icon next to the listing option you would like to keep.
Select the merge tab and place a check-box next to the option you would like merged into the current option. Press the Merge button towards the bottom of the listing to merge the two options into one. Note that all items belonging to the old option will now belong to the new one.
