I was wondering if there is a quick way I can transfer the value of one Text TV to another?
I have over 500 documents and was using introtext as a TV for tagData, however some contain ampesands and it does not work with ditto tagging. I cant remove the ampersands from the introtext as I want to display it with this at the frontend, therefore I am looking for a quick way to transfer the text from introtext TV to another TV which I will use for tag data and remove the ampersands..
does anyone know a solution rather than going through over 500 documents and doing it manually?
Thanks

hi
make a snippet
which would read your doc ’s field introtext and edit it, then put it back
the code will work not more than 2 mins - Done.

Thanks for the reply, I dont want to edit the text in "introtext" I need to copy the text from introtext into a new template variable on the same page, then I will edit it from that new TV..

oh sorry...
then just invent a code which will find your Tv’ id and copy to it’s value the data from introtext.

Was just looking at @BINDINGS, could these be used to get the data from the introtext field?
