Bulk editing - Can I add to my items description? Not just on the end of it.

Sorry.

Kinda hard to post the a Subject line without confusion....

So I have roughly 400 line items that I want to bulk edit and add a comment to my pickup and returns section. I know if I simply bulk edit the normal way, it will just add whatever I type to the bottom. Which is what I don't want. I tried their find and replace tool in the bulk edit section but it didn't work. Nothing changed. So I have done that wrong, or, its broken. 🙂

Thanks.

Perhaps try again?:   I have had success with find and replace on bulk editing.  And for some reason it takes time - not instant - allow an hour before looking.

You could take out the whole part and replace?

So if I were to use the find and replace option. What I did, was copy the section I wanted to find from one of my adds, and then pasted it in the ''find box'' then basically pasted this again, but with the added script on to it, in the ''replace box''.

If you get my drift.

If I could just add onto the Pickup and Returns section in every add I have that would be easier, but from what I can gather you can't. It will just add your text onto the bottom.

It can be done but it does not seem to work if the "find" section is too long. So if you had a consistent short phrase in every listing detail section that was not repeated elsewhere in the detail, it should work (ie find " post every day" and repalce with "post every business day")

Hmm righto.What I want to do may actually not work then. As I basically want to add a line, mid paragraph, I suppose you'd call it. Bugger. I might have to do this manually I think.
