The VBO action "Modify entity value" does not work on text format.

If I create a basic article and I try to change the text format of the body field from "Full HTML" to "Filtered HTML" (for example) with a "Modify entity value" VBO action, the text format does not change when the action is run. It does work for the body content.

I didn't try it on 7.x-3.x-dev. By the way, is this version generally more buggy or less buggy than the 7.x-3.0-rc* one?

The -dev version is always the least buggy in VBO land.
I just need to fix a few more issues (like yours :P) before I tag 7.x-3.0.

I can confirm this issue, If you just update the filter format and leave the actual body field blank, the format will not update.

After looking into this; this is an issue with the core text.module and not VBO, as you will find the same behaviour there. This is because the text_field_is_empty function only checks for 'value' and 'summary' values, otherwise it's declared empty, so isn't saved.

same problem here not modify entity value in body or other custom fields.
I also try by defining some default for field & then try to override and add new value in field but not action.
any one help this?
thanks in advance
