Fix missing fields in bulk

Smart Bulk Resolutions groups missing required fields by category — set one value, click Apply, and every affected product updates at once.

Fix one field for many products at once

When a whole category of products is missing the same required field — every t-shirt missing brand, every mug missing material — you don't fix them one by one. The Smart Bulk Resolutions button in the Inventory page header (it shows how many products it can resolve, and hides itself at zero) opens a side panel that groups the gaps for you. It works over the products your search chips select — one marketplace, or all of them.

How it works

1. Each card in the panel is one combination of category + missing field — for example brand in Clothing › T-Shirts, "12 items".
2. Type the value into Set default value… and click Apply.
3. The value is written to every Needs Review product in that category missing that field. Products with nothing else missing flip straight to Ready; the tab counts update live.

eBay's business policies get a special card labelled All categories — payment, return and fulfillment policies belong to the eBay connection, not to a category, so one dropdown choice applies to every category of that marketplace at once.

A second kind of card appears when a marketplace refused to publish products because of their category: pick a better category in the card and press Move, and every product in that group moves, with its required fields recalculated. When your list spans more than one marketplace, each card names the marketplace it belongs to.

Good to know

• The list stays visible behind the panel — you can spot-check affected products as you go.
• Bulk values land exactly like values typed in the detail pane; open any product afterwards to fine-tune an individual one.
• When the panel has no cards left, you're done — head to publishing.
