    Hello
    I’d like to bulk-edit my titles to be the same as my captions.
    Is it possible with this plugin? (basically for each picture I’d like the caption field to be copy/pasted in the title field)
    Many thanks,

    Thanks for your question. You can use the Media/Assistant Bulk Edit area to accomplish this task or you can define an IPTC/EXIF mapping rule to do it for all your items.

    For the Bulk Edit approach:

    1. Navigate to the Media/Assistant admin screen.
    2. Check the box to the left of each item you want to edit.
    3. Select Edit from the Bulk Actions dropdown, then click Apply.
    4. Enter template:[+post_excerpt+] in the text box for the Title field.
    5. Click “Update” to make the changes.

    I am traveling until 10/26 so I have entered the above suggestion from memory, but I think I got it right. If you have any problems or further questions regarding the suggestions, post an update and I will give you more help after I return home. Thanks for your patience and your interest in the plugin.

    I’m still traveling, but here is a link to an earlier post with a more detailed explanation. You can adapt the solution there to your need to edit the Title field:

    You can also find more information regarding the Bulk Edit area by clicking the “Help” link in the upper-right corner of the Media/Assistant screen and finding the Bulk Actions tab in the help menu.
