Is it possible to bulk edit product categories?

Hi,

I added a new clearance category to my store and added all products I wanted in there by copying it to the clearance category as a second category.

I wanted to also add a "sale" to these clearance items but found I couldn't because the clearance category isn't the master category.

Instead of going through each listing individually changing the master category to the clearance one is there a way to do it by bulk?

Thanks.
Anna

Go to one of the Products in this Category and click C for Copy ... then click Multiple Categories Link Manager and at the bottom of the screen you will see:

Reset ALL Products in the selected Category to use the selected Category as the new Master Categories ID ...
Example: Resetting Category 22 would set ALL Products in Category 22 to use Category 22 as the Master Category ID Reset the Master Categories ID for All Products in Category:
