Views 6.x-3.0
Views Bulk Operations (VBO) 6.x-1.x-dev (2011-Dec-15)
Views Calc 6.x-3.x-dev (2011-Feb-25)

When selecting the VBO as the page style, when you get to the Selected Operations, Modify Node Fields is not listed. See attached image.

Odd thing. A view I have used for several years still operated properly. I clicked to Edit the working View to see what I might have missed. The Modified Node Fields is not on that list either. However, that is the action that was previously selected and the form will still make the requested field changes.

I have read the ReadMe text.
Looked at permissions.
Tried to clone the working View.

Thanks. I'll be checking if Views 3.0 has broken anything.

Can't seem to reproduce this on my side, with either Views 3.0 or the latest dev. According to your screenshot, VBO isn't picking up any node action at all.

* Are you sure your view type is "Node" ?
* What do you see when you create user views ?
* What happens if you disable Views Calc ?

* Are you sure your view type is "Node" ?
Yes. I even created a very simple View with filter for Node Type: Stories as a test.

* What do you see when you create user views ?
User views does work.

* What happens if you disable Views Calc ?
There was no change.

So to make sure I understand, you are not seeing *any* node action on node views? It's not just "Modify node fields" that's missing?

Also, can you cleare the cache (devel/cache/clear/all)?
VBO changed the way it stores the list of actions, and now stores it in cache. Might be related.

I have the following available to me, I have the Node Convert module as well:

Change the author of content (node_assign_owner_action)
Convert a node (node_convert_convert_action)
Delete item (views_bulk_operations_delete_item)
Display a message to the user (system_message_action)
Execute arbitrary PHP script (views_bulk_operations_script_action)
Make content sticky (node_make_sticky_action)
Make content unsticky (node_make_unsticky_action)
Pass ids as arguments to a page (views_bulk_operations_argument_selector_action)
Promote content to front page (node_promote_action)
Publish content (node_publish_action)
Redirect to URL (system_goto_action)
Remove content from front page (node_unpromote_action)
Save content (node_save_action)
Send e-mail (system_send_email_action)
Unpublish content (node_unpublish_action)
Unpublish content containing keyword(s) (node_unpublish_by_keyword_action)

I just noticed that this issue relates to version 6.x, many apologies - my query is about 7.x-3.0-beta3. When I went to 7.x-3.x-dev, I was able to see a 'Modify Entity Values' option, which I'm not 100% sure is the same 'Modify Node Values'?

Again, sorry for posting this for the wrong version, shall I open a new request with the correct version?

In D7 you use "modify entity values". It's a new action that does the same thing, only works on all entity types.

OK, thanks, with the dev version I can use "modify entity values", so all set.

I cleared the Cache under Admin >Performance and Views >Tools. There was no change.

Obviously since no one else is reporting this problem, it must be a conflict with the Views combination of modules we have installed. I am a member of our volunteer group and not an employee or a programmer. I have to work on the web site during my personal time.

Please keep this issue open until I have time to try these tests. First, I will try to uninstall and reinstall VBO. If that does not work, I will try to upgrade the site to Drupal 7. Perhaps I can find a way to do without the Contributed modules we use that have not been updated yet.

A good approach would be to try with a vanilla Drupal + Views + VBO. Things should be sane there. Then, add your Views contrib modules one by one until the actions disappear.
