I've had a quick search, but can't find the answer to this, I've set up a dropdown datatype, and populated it with some data, I now need to edit the data, as the client has sent through new naming conventions, I don't want to have to delete and re-create the values, and update each content item that refers to them..
How do you update/amend/edit existing prevalue, values?
1.) Edit the values in the cmsDataTypePreValues table, using SQL Server or similar.
2.) All API based calls will now use the new values, but the XML cache will still be outdated, in my case this meant the search wasn't working, simple fix, just tell umbraco to publish (not republish) the nodes affected, sit back and wait for it to complete.
3.) That's it - no third step, values have been updated.
Maybe there could be an edit feature in the future, I realise the XML needs re-generating, but that's quicker than doing each node by hand!!
The latest version of Umbraco (4.7), and probably a few beforehand (?!), allow you to click on the value text (left hand column) - you can then directly edit the text. Don't forget to save the changes though!
Edit Prevalue dropdowns

I'm using 4.0.x by the way..
OK, I've worked out what to do,
1.) Edit the values in the cmsDataTypePreValues table, using SQL Server or similar.
2.) All API based calls will now use the new values, but the XML cache will still be outdated, in my case this meant the search wasn't working, simple fix, just tell umbraco to publish (not republish) the nodes affected, sit back and wait for it to complete.

Isn't there a way to add this new feature in the back-end ?
May be there is a package for that...
