noindex tag and specific products

Greetings, i searched for this specific issue, but the threads are old, or its unclear how to proceed.

Does adding a manual tag “noindex” on product editor works? so i could add it in mass.

I need to prevent a lot of products to index due to duplicated/low quailty so i wont get penalized, but show to the clients the full collection of them, could this be possible with this tag?

i saw in other post that you can edit code and add noindex for specific product id handles, but this wont be a solution for me.

What i mean with manual noindex tag is this attached image:

Thank you very much for the needed help.
