Bulk edit of document variables?

07.02.2020, 14:13

Hello,
is there a way to add the value of a document variable to a lot of documents at the same time? it sounds like it should be a pretty basic function but I can't figure how to do it.
I have 500+ documents and I have to assign the same value to one of the document variables.
Thanks,
Simona

Hi starcrossing,

There is an easy workaround to assign the same value to one of the document variables for 500+ documents. You can export the Data Editor for Document Variables to Excel and assign the values in your Excel sheet. After that, just reimport the Excel file via "Import Document Variables". You can read more about importing Document Variables in MAXQDA here in our online manual:
