Adding "read dates" in bulk?

I'm trying to view my "books read in year xx" on the charts and graphs page, but I see there are many I don't have dates for. Is there a way to add dates in bulk using the power editor? I'd prefer not to do it one by one for hundreds of books. Thanks.

I'm afraid not.

You could create a collection or a tag "read in year xx", which would allow you to see all the books, but they wouldn't show in the Charts & Graphs section.

>2 lilithcat: Yeah, that's where I'm at right now. Bummer. Thanks for answering, though.

>3 handshakes: Adding to a collection will enable you to make use of some charts and graphs features since you can filter by collection. If you've used tags, those can be transferred to a collection in one go from your tags page. You won't get year in review without red dates, though

>1 handshakes: Once you get them into a collection/tag, add the column to your catalog view. Then edit from there - while still book by book, it is much faster than opening and saving each book.

>5 AnnieMod: If you are just seeing the one collection or tag, and copy that year, pasting it into every record as you go down the list, it should go quite quickly.
