Problem/Motivation
I just found out, that on a customer page someone (crazy) put too long and wrong texts into the title field. There are many many nodes and it will be a hard job to remove all of them manually.
So I thought I had seen a "reset" functionality in the past, maybe Drupal 7, but perhaps I'm mixing this up with pathauto.
Is there any "reset metatag" funcationality? If not, would it make sense to add a feature request for such a tool? Perhaps as metatags_reset submodule?
I also had a look into the database to see, if I can bulk delete the field there, but as all metatags are serialized, that seems to be really hard and makes such a tool even more helpful.

damienmckennaSo a bulk edit system for a field? That would be a useful tool to add, and could be part of the main module.
It should search for the Metatag fields defined in the system, provide a list of all meta tags, then let you search the meta tags defined in those fields...
Almost like Search & Replace Scanner.. So maybe another approach would be to add Metatag support for the Scanner module?

anybodyThanks @DamienMcKenna!
Yes, ALSO helpful! What I was thinking about was a tree-like selection of the fields (by entity type > bundle) to reset to their defaults (or alternatively clear?)
That's for the case, where you simply want to use default for these again. VBO would be another alternative, but like https://www.drupal.org/project/views_bulk_edit for metatags. Or would that already work for the Metatag field? Didn't try it yet...

damienmckennaThe Views Bulk Edit option might be a good approach..
