Problem/Motivation

I can see the advantage in easy handling of that use case.

But could you please explain the difference to VBO where one can modify field values on select nodes?
Thank you.

The difference is that with this you have the option to only edit the field if it didn't have a value (which is a condition that you could copy in a VBO action only with custom code, or by using eca_vbo module), and the benefit of not having to filter and select the entities to update: you automatically update all the entities that have that field, directly from the field settings form, so I would say it's pretty convenient for this specific use case, ie. when modifying the structure of your site (more specific than with VBO).
