We want to move all articles from 1 category to the other, Our categories article count range is from 10 to 34,000. We tried the way mentioned here https://meta.discourse.org/t/move-topics-to-new-category/21313 and it works well for few topics. Is there any other tool that help us to achieve this?
I checked myself in rails code and found a way to achieve this manually using rails console by following this piece of code
operator = TopicsBulkAction.new(current_user, topic_ids, operation, group: operation[:group])
changed_topic_ids = operator.perform!
Yes this would work well in some case but if we have 2 categories and each have 1000 topic and we want to merge them then this would not work. Thanks for good idea.
I have had to make some large moves in the past to remove unpopular categories. The only thing to keep me sane is relying on a keyboard macro tool to handle some of the repetition of selecting the topics (x tabs and space). I use https://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/
Ultimately, would be nice to have a bulk move tool in Discourse, but understandably not a priority since it is not something used that often
