The Views Bulk Operations actions appear limited to basic actions like delete, promote, publish.
I would like to update a taxonomy field in a list of nodes but do not see a way to do this.

SVG's are a great topic for the design meeting, but also for the dev meeting. Two currently active issues related to SVG overlap a bit when it comes to security aspects. https://...

I know it's a long and difficult job to make Backdrop known and for people to realize the power (and simplicity) of the product. And I think you do a great job. What I like about Backdrop...
My work and a big thanks to all of you
Looks good. Tres bien! It is definitely worth releasing that. We often have people looking for good simple themes and that is quite a thing of beauty whilst being simple. You're right...
My work and a big thanks to all of you
Thank you for your message. You are right. The more modules and themes there are, the more attractive Backdrop will be. It's not the number of users that poses a problem for me, it's...

Hello Gus 👋,
I don't believe that this feature is yet available for the 7.x version of VBO (happy to be proven wrong though). There where multiple issues where this was being discussed:
All of those issues seem to have been closed either as duplicate or wont-fix 😔 ...but I believe that there is an effort to implement it in https://www.drupal.org/project/views_bulk_operations/issues/1421656 which is now RTBC (but not merged/implemented yet).
I was also able to find some other bugs filed around this functionality, such as:
So it seems that this in not quite production-ready yet. Nevertheless, we could look into supporting it in Backdrop; so I'd suggest opening an issue in https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues
Cheers
Thanks but I use VBO to modify entities in nodes in drupal 7 all the time, including taxomony terms. Never had an issue with that.
I do not see any way VBO can be used to modify any node fields. This is an important (critical) feature for me. I have only built 2 sites using Backdrop but this could stop me right here.
Right, can you please take the time then to open a feature request for this in https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues ?
Ok, I posted the request for this feature. #4401
