#2006 Bulk entry updates on selected fields

[ChrisJ]

Ability to copy URL entry (or any other entry) from one entry to multiple others, either by search or by group or by multiple selection. Eg this URL
cmd://%compsec% /c dsquery user -name "{TITLE}" | dsmod user -pwd {PASSWORD} & pause
would allow AD passwords recorded in Keepass to be automatically updated by opening the URL
This works for individual entries but I can't find a way of editing it to apply thus URL to multiple entries

Have you tried using XML replace, it's built-in to KeePass?

Found that just before leaving work yesterday. Going to have a look when I
get a chance. ☺

tried this and it seems to work OK looking only in the "Sandbox" group (that I created for testing) and matching values only where there is an existing value of "my big test URL" . I've not tested it but I understand this will NOT look in subgroups of Sandbox.

Select nodes :
//Group[Name='Sandbox']/Entry/String[Key='URL' and Value='my big test URL']
Replace data : Inner Text
Find what:
my big test URL
Replace with:
My Replacement text
no case, no reg exp

Hope this helps someone!

But this only works in replacing existing URL values. If there is no URL value then the Value entry is empty and doesn't appear to match an empty string '' for an inner text match
This worked

Select nodes :
//Group[Name='Sandbox']/Group[Name='Windows Log in Passwords']/Entry/String[Key='URL']/Value
Replace data : Outer XML
Find what:
<Value/>
Replace with:
<Value>Your New URL</Value>
no case, no reg exp

Hope this helps someone too!

I've implemented this now. The entry editing dialog can now edit all currently selected entries at once.

Here's the latest development snapshot for testing:
