Howdy. I have thousands of comics added from before the adding process automatically updates the “Purchased Date” field. It bugs me that they lack this info. For a very large number of these (probably 65%), the “Added Date” is a good proxy for when they were purchased. I wanted to know if there was a way to map “Added Date” as “Purchased Date” in bulk. The real trick is I would only want to do this for comics where “Purchased Date” is blank and “Added Date” is after a certain point (before that point much of the adding was done in bulk as it’s when I first started using the app). If you had an API, I could easily do this on my own programmatically. But not sure how to do it with what I have access to. Thanks!
Yes, the Transfer Field Data tool (in the menu, under Maintenance), should work for that.

You should be able to make that selection using Purchased Date folder, clicking the NONE folder and then sorting the results by Date Added.
