Bulk Update Fields
This module allows you to perform bulk updates on fields for nodes and other entities. It integrates with Drupal's core bulk operations, enabling you to modify field values for selected items through a batch process.
VBO (views bulk operations) was included with core... sort of. This module attempts to bring back bulk field modifications in drupal 8. Dates, users and paragraphs are supported as of the 2.x branch.
NOTE: This module is not designed to work with contrib VBO, only Core Actions in /admin/content/* using Core Bulk Update fields
If you are using views_bulk_operations module then use: https://www.drupal.org/project/views_bulk_edit to add back the "modify field values' action. This module only works with core bulk functionality.
Note that some non standard widgets (such as entity browser) do not work and will cause errors. To avoid the errors, switch to core widgets in the entity's form display before running the bulk update.
