Is would be nice to have an option in Update Options to swap promote status. If the selected node is promoted it is removed and vice versa. It would help change the content of the front page in a single action.

P.S. Is there another way to achieve this functionality?

There is already the capability to turn "promote" on or off; that's even in core. I'm having trouble envisioning how useful a "toggle" function could be. However, for my last customer, I did create a small module that added an "unpromote" link (also "unsticky") to promoted nodes. I will probably add that to the Util module when I figure out Git.

Ok, here is an example:

There are X nodes promoted in the front page and we want to remove them and promote Y new ones. Using cmf, if we choose to unpromote the X old nodes first and then promote the Y new nodes there is a small amount of time that the front page has no nodes. If we do it the other way, first promote the new ones and then unpromote the old ones, there is a small amount of time with all nodes in the front page, which might be ungly. Can you see it now? We could choose all X+Y nodes in cmf, select "toggle promote" and the old ones would "unpromote" and the new ones would be "promoted".

Sure, we can certainly live without "toggle promote status" but wouldn't it be usefull?

PS: That "unpromote" link sounds usefull too!
