Is there any way to edit labels, individually or in bulk, with Confluence 3.5?

Piergiuliano Bo

Hi all,

I'm looking to find a way to edit labels, individually or in bulk, with Confluence 3.5. I guess that I can resort to use the XML-RPC api, but wouldn't it be more convenient if there was a GUI to do that? I can't find any documentation about it though, not even with more recent versions.

Thanks,

bop

Not sure what you mean by edit labels. If you mean add and remove labels from various pages, addLabels from Confluence Command Line Interface can be used for bulk changes.

For changing or splitting a label and modifying all content to correspond to the change: This is more difficult and there is no built in solution. However, the building blocks are there with addLabels and removeLabels. So you need to add the new label(s) and remove the old label(s) from each page. You can use runFromSql action with a suitable SQL query against the labels and content-labels tables in the confluence database. Don't have time right now to construct it for you.
