Say that you published 5000 products...
and you forgot to say "please contact us at ......"
Then you would have to either edit each product or export the description as csv and fix it and reupload... this is a very time consuming work.

How about let us do this by using your mass changer?
We can go to the advanced modifier and go to either the short description or description. Then you would see [current description] there.

If you want to say "thank you" before the existing description, all you have to do is add thank you before [current description].

If you want to say "thank you" after the existing description, all you have to do is add thank you after [current description]. Like [current description]
Thank you.

This would make our life so much easier. especially when you have to make a quick announcement or warning about multiple products.

Hello Kevin!
You can use expressions in Mass Product Changer.
Please use SQL syntax to replace test of description

example : =REPLACE([x],'test','ololol')
see screenshot - http://screencast.com/t/pBELm1UE7LSo
If you need to append text - use CONCAT in expression

=CONCAT([x], 'some text after descr. ')OR

=CONCAT('some text before descr. ', [x])OR

=CONCAT('some text before descr. ', [x], 'some text after descr.')
Don't forget to set Description filed

What about the title? (item name)
Is there a way to do the something?
or is it just working for the descriptions?

I tried your expressions but I get errors.
Can expressions take things like "<b></b> or <br />" or does it take only plain text?

There is no possibility to modify product title, BUT, you can do the same operation in product import through expression

Hi, what would be the following expressions be when you you import the product?
These expressions do not work when you import.

=CONCAT([x], 'some text after descr. ')OR

=CONCAT('some text before descr. ', [x])OR

=CONCAT('some text before descr. ', [x], 'some text after descr.')

Hmm... It depend on what field have you have chosen. I don't know what value did you select in current field.
VIDEO Example - http://screencast.com/t/PlYrTYhV
Please watch this short video example of expression concat([FIELD_VALUE], " test")
you need to select Field value for current field where expression was located ....
