It is my understanding that there will be some bulk editing functionality in 3.2 : http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:rfcs3.2#cataloguing I know that doesn't help you right now, but it is good news because you're not the only one who needs this type of functionality. --- Nicole C.

But I need to do it for about 9000 items. Is there a way to run it for all the items at once? If not, that is problem. What if someone wants to change their barcodes from their previous software (like us) they will need to do this process for each?!?!? There has to be a way to mass import changes to the items table then have it makes the changes to the other tables and the zebra db as well.

Can someone tell me how to use this script. I know it cannot be used from the command line and I have tried to run it from with the browser. Any help help would be great.
1. search for an item in the catalogue, taking you to /cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl
2. click on one of the items in the results area that has a barcode, taking you to /cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/detail.pl
3. click on the barcode in the barcode column, taking you to /cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/moredetail.pl
4. the updateitem.pl script is called when you click on one of the buttons labeled "Set Status", "Withdraw" or "Update"
