Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Very nice module!
Sometimes a group of nodes need change their vocabulary terms together. This kind of bulk operations looks very useful.
Would it be possible to implement Taxonomy operations, which can update the terms of the nods effectively?

astra commentedBut this module can work with flexible features from Views. If it expands new features for Taxonomy, that's quite useful and what I'm looking for.

summit commentedHi,
You can use both..
What you have to do is to enable both modules and in the view you make with the readme of views bulk operation you can show the taxonomy node operations as operation actions in the view you can build with preferences as you like!
So use both and be happy!
greetings,
Martijn

astra commentedHi,
Thanks for your help. For a test I installed and enabled both modules, and played this feature. That looks really what i want. But I got a strange display.
I created a Bulk Operations View with fields Title and Taxonomy terms. First I set all nodes with term1. Then I try using the Bulk Operations to update them to term2 at once. After hit the Execute button, the term2 are added in, but not update the old term1, both of the terms display (see the attachment picture). BTW, my node type doesn't allow multiple select for the test terms.
Something wrong?

infojunkieAFAIK this is a feature of the taxonomy_node_operations module. The operation label says "Add to Vocab->Term", and that's precisely what it does. It adds the specified term and does not replace the current one with the new one. And yes, for bulk manipulation, that might not be the most useful feature :-)
The taxonomy_node_operations module also does not honor the vocabulary settings. That means you can assign multiple terms to a node even when the vocabulary specifies only one term per node. I think it also lets you assign terms to node types not specified in the vocabulary settings page.

summit commentedMay be you need the taxonomy_manager module?
First set up your new term2. Then migrate all term1 nodes to term2. And then delete term1. Voila all nodes are than pointing to term2.

infojunkieI don't think this issue is VBO-specific. Closing.
