Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have multiple post types with hundreds of pages content. In these post types I have added a custom field with a default value, a text for a dynamically loaded button text in a content template
This text only shows after a "blue button" update fo the post type, I have tested this multiple times. The bulk action>edit in the admin does not have effect, also not when I change something.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
I searched and read all I could find about it

Is there a similar example that we can see?
I have a dev site

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Please advice

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I'm not sure yet what default value you added and exactly where and where you want to display this default value.

Can you please share all those required details and share problem URL as well as access detail. Once I review your setup I will be able to guide you in the right direction.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Again - when I try to access the wp-admin it shows me the message:

Your access to this site has been limited by the site owner

Can you please grant me permission so that I can login to admin.

pfff I am really sorry for that, very irritating for you. Country block was on, I don't understand why I have checked it before submitting.

I should work now.

Its still the same issue. I'm not sure if you removed the restrictions why I still seeing that.

I found the problem, it is not possible to rewrite the firewall rules of Wordfence (??) country is automatically put back to the previous settings. I have disabled this plugin completely.
Please try again, sorry for the inconvenience. I will look into this issue after you are ready.

Thank you for removing restrictions. I checked the video you shared and I'm afraid that there is no way to update custom field value for multiple posts.

Okay, that is unfortunate. Thanks for your help. I am curious to know what happens when I change the default value, if the this problem than still exists ....
