Hi @DELCROIX Clément and welcome to Community!

Do you mean you want to move your existing ‘Managed Devices’ objects into the new categories you created? For example, an object of type ‘Managed Devices’ with a name containing ‘iPhone’ would be moved from ‘Managed Devices’ to ‘iPhones’?

If so, you have a couple of solutions:

• Bulk clone Assets objects to a different object type using Automation. Note: this is limited to updating 50 objects at a time.

• Export to CSV, map each object to its new type, and reimport using an Asset CSV import to create them under the new object type.

Do you have any custom fields linked to these ‘Managed Devices’ objects? If so, you’ll need to plan how to update them accordingly.

Hope this helps!
