What is going on with the Bulk Editor for updating Google sales channel fields? They cannot be edited via the Shopify products bulk editor. The only way is by going through the Google app to 'Bulk edit products', which then takes you to a different version of the Shopify bulk editor where, ok you can edit the fields, but...... there is no way to filter products by product type, collection etc. No way to sort by newest etc. Neither any way to search. So to edit the fields you have to scroll through the entire catalogue of products (listed alphabetically) just to find the ones you want to edit, which is slow loading and painstaking when you have thousands of products. I sure hope the changes that have been made are just a work in progress because otherwise this is a very poor user experience that hasn't been thought through! Hopefully someone from Shopify / Google sees this and can explain.
Thank you for your suggestions and I appreciate your time in responding. Unfortunately, exporting to edit the fields and then importing back in is not practical because it's not real-time editing. For example. The csv file that is exported includes inventory numbers. So any sales that take place in the meantime while the file is being edited will result in the inventory numbers in the file being wrong when it's imported back in. Even if that could be overcome, it's still a much more convoluted process than it needs to be, and compared to what it was before. Yes, apps can be used as an alternative, but these cost and why should people have to resort to using apps? The simple, most practical and common sense solution is for Shopify/Google to reinstate a practical way of bulk editing the Google fields. It's completely unfathomable why they've suddenly made it so user unfriendly.
