Love this app by the way. I've put in my entire movie collection. Around 250 movies. Friends love coming over and using mystuff2 to browse instead of having to stand in front of the closet.

What I'm trying to to is add a new attribute to my already created and filled category of movies. I know how to actually add the attribute and all that but what I was hoping it would do is autofill all the existing entries with the new info.

Does that make sense? Basically if I add a new attribute to an existing list, I don't want to have to go back thru and update all the items with the new info or have to go back and rescan all my movies so that the new attribute will populate.

I hope that makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm glad you and your friends are making good use of MyStuff2. Thanks.

I am planning to add an ability to update existing items with information from Amazon in the next big update to MyStuff2. For now, only newly added items from Amazon will get the new attribute filled in automatically (assuming you updated the category's product mapping with the new attribute). You can start manually updating your existing items now or wait a couple of months for the new ability to be added.

I too, am facing the same issue.

I haven video games, movies, box sets, and books all cataloged. I have added some 15 new fields to the catorgies and mapped them to amazon. I would love to have these fields filled in for my existing 500 items.

This would be a huge help. I am so excited for it. Also this app is most dynamic app I have ever ran into and feel like this was the best app I have spent money on.

Thank you for the kind words. This feature is coming.
