I have to update a specific group of product custom fields pretty often.
To open Woocommerce products for editing and saving it with all realoads and delays takes a lot of time. There is a large amount of products with some 30 custom fields and it all runs in 4 languages(wpml). So it is slow.
My Toolset Post Update Form with some fields works fast and fine on frontend lightbox.
Is it possible to link this form on the backend in post list? Let say somwhere next to Quic Edit.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Toolset post form is meant to work on frontend only and you can not use that in the backend. For backend use you should be rely on standard WordPress hook like save_post to update your desired custom field.

Please check the following Doc that may help you:
