Hi fellas,

i try to add a new tv to some of my resources to categorize them. My tv is a select box with single select option. In the front-end I use getResources-Snippet to get all resources with the same category as the selected resource.

So i need literally hundrets of resources to save the new standard value. Do I need a script for that or did i misconfigure my tv?

It's configured like so (i translated it from german so it's propably not exactly what the labels are in manager):

Input Options
```
Lustiges & Skurriles ||
Sprüche & Zitate ||
Videos ||
Comics 
```
Standard value
```
Lustiges & Skurriles
```
Allow empty input
```
false
```
activate Autocomplete
```
false
```
autocomplete delay
```
250
```
limit selection to list
```
true
```
all the other options are empty.

create a PHP file, put it along side of index.php
```
<?php
define('MODX_API_MODE', true);
require 'index.php'; // this goes to main index.php

$c = $modx->newQuery('modResource');

// in case you need a condition, change this accordingly
// $c->where(array(
// 	'parent' => 1
// ));

$resources = $modx->getCollection('modResource', $c);
if (!$resources) {
	die('crap!');
}

$putTVValueHere = 'foo';
foreach ($resources as $resource) {
	$resource->setTVValue('yourTVname', $putTVValueHere);
}

die('Finish');
```
