If you add a new field to an existing CCK type, there's no way (that I know of) to insert a value for that field into EXISTING nodes of that CCK type.

Would it be possible to add a button that does this? (It can use the default value if necessary; for a Computed Field, it could use the specified calculation if the field is configured to be added to the database.)

Thank you.

(Of course, you can manually "update" each existing node to get the value, but I mean could you create a way to do it "automatically" for large numbers of existing nodes.)

Look to contrib for this kind of working.. not in CCK, unless you're playing with default values in a later version. ;)
