date and node reference fields

Or maybe you can tell me how I can mass-edit nodes imported by "node import", I need this because node import have small limit of fields imported at once (http://drupal.org/node/430302).

The way to import date and nodereference is to write field type support plugins for the Field Tool module - I haven't yet created those. Nodereference is trivial, date is going to be a bit harder (but still doable). We should probably just steal conversion code from Node Import or other import modules. Adding support for more field types is the way to go anyways, so those should be a feature requests in the Field Tool issue (one issue per field type).

Mass-editing of nodes is possible, but you'll probably need a couple of custom PHP operations and a detailed knowledge of how Transformations works. I might be able to do it myself, but I'm not confident to post guidelines on how it could probably work. At this point, the official position for this kind of use case is approximately something like "if you don't manage to do it yourself, you probably shouldn't try it in the module's current state".

Cool, thank you!

Could you be so kind as to create those trivial plugins with steal conversion code?

Let's see what I can get done. No promises, but I'm trying to spare some time.

Thank you!
But when you can try to do this? Unfortunately, it's very important question :-)

Sorry, I can't give dates as I tend to miss deadlines - I'll just refer to the general open source "It's done when it's done" motto. If you need this done on time, you might consider hiring someone to do it, instead of hoping for my free time. I've given too many pledges and promises in the past, and I'm trying hard to avoid repeating this for stuff that is not directly related to my paid work time, as unfulfilled pledges and promises lead to more disappointment than being clear upfront.

Yeah, I understand you. I'm sorry.

Thank you!
