Are recent Bulk Editor changes an improvement or a setback?

I can’t believe Shopify has made changed yet again and you can no longer delete/products from the url to revert back to the old bulk editor. I did notice for awhile you could do it from the main product screen and now that option is gone as well. So frustrating when you’re entering over 2000 variants a day and use the bulk editor to confirm the price, cost, weight and country of origin are all filled in and correct. Even worse when the above listed columns have to be checked every single time you go to a new product and you are no longer able to adjust the columns.

When I call Shopify you know if it pointless to mention yet I do it every time hope one day they will listen and go back to the way it was.

Yep, @Shopify_77 have really screwed up the Bulk Editor and sadly, they’re not listening.
I don’t even use it anymore, when previously I used it multiple times a day.

The new editor will also not allow you to edit variant metafields. When it was first rolled out it wouldn’t display them at all but someone has ‘fixed’ that so it shows the variant metafields, but when you save it doesn’t save.

Agreed completely. Why did this change to REDUCE functionality? PLEASE PUT IT BACK. You’ve made our work so much harder, especially when you’re trying to edit multiple batches of skus. There seems to be no reason why I can’t set my own default columns.

Mine defaults for Price Sku and several locations (which I do NOT ever need) The locations take up quite a bit of space. I no longer defaults to the compare at price which I ALWAYS need. Each store is different and Shopify should know that and let us accomodate our own needs instead of assuming these defaults will be helpful to everyone.

Agreed. Let me arrange the columns myself and have the system remember my settings. :wink:
