Hi,
I have a website I started to build couple years ago. But the website itself grew up to something bigger, with more fields and details - and old data are missing these. E.g., recently added Long./Lat. fields but old content doesn’t have them. So I wonder if it’s possible (and what module) to export all data into csv file, update it (I think it's much easier than open one by one node) and than import the updated data? Or something like that.

Thanks for any help.

You could export using https://www.drupal.org/project/views_data_export
And import via https://www.drupal.org/project/feeds

I just found nice video about exporting using views https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssOF3nPgcfc but was wondering if I can use it to import by feeds.
Thanks.

A complete different way might be via bulk updating a lot of nodes using the editablefields module. You basically create a table view with the relevant fields and update them directly in that view.

How about Data Export Import? I found interesting comment about it HERE.

What I like about data_export_import is that it is an all-in-one module (for export AND import of data. Whereas as with some other solutions, the import and export stages are done by separate modules, which could mean that extra work is needed ensuring compatibility of the export with the import.)
