Hi,
thank you for you work. I hope you will accept a criticism: a few lines of deeper description and a couple of examples would make the functioning of the module clear, because at the moment is completely obscure, at least to non experts like me.

I need to change a CCK field in children nodes when the a father's CCK field is changed. The father's CCK field is changed through a scheduled rule, and after that I need a rule to change all the children's CCK fields, without knowing -at the moment of writing the rule- how many of them there will be, if any.

How would I set up the executor for this purpose?

I didn't know that CCK could reproduce theme self ;-)
I think that your needs are not dpd of rule executor module.
What is your definition of father and children in a CCK way ? Do you mean father in term of node reference hierarchy ?

I have two kinds of node: proposal and amendment. A proposal has a CCK text field that explains the status of its voting process. When that field is updated with 'voting the amendments', I need the Pollfield 'active' flag on all the amendments to be switched on. There is a referrer field on the proposal and a node reference field on each amendment pointing to its proposal.

I think that the functionality you require would be covered by the views bulk operations (VBO) module.

With the latest version of VBO you get an action to execute a VBO view, so you could add to your rule that changes the parent CCK field that would execute a VBO passing in that nid. The view would take the nid as an argument and load up the child nodes.

Rules executor solved a problem that might have already been solved by VBO I'm afraid.
