Hi, I was wondering if there is an easy way of doing this since I've had to change it twice and it is getting bothersome.

I'm trying to create a site and I keep changing things in the middle of it that requires me to change the text of a cck field.

For example..i create cck field text with 3 drop down selection book, video, image

but then I created like 10 nodes that have been populated and now I realize that it might confuse people so I decide to change it to the plural version of books, images, videos.

So what I did was go to each node and change them by hand which was really tiresome because I had to do it 3 times and I actually had around 30 cck nodes so it took alot of time.

So I'm wondering if there is a way to assign a field that uses information that probably never changes over and over again and can easy be changed with one edit. So basically it would probably one table reference that would be changed easy by changing the value of that table.

I'm lost here since I'm thinking of just using php includes which is the farthest I now about php but then that doesn't seem right for drupal.

Any help would be great.

Tahnks.

So for awhile I kept reading about node reference and how you can reference a node. I thought a while back I'll just create a simple node with a title I would reference but I thought it was a module I couldn't find. Ahh...so I'm like sitting here thinking man, I guess it must be some php code people use to call a table from the db. and then I thought, it can't be something I missed in the cck module even though I look at it ever day to see what modules work with what well..o my gosh...it was right there..I feel real dumb now.
