How to set a default value for a large number of objects?

hi,

a question which I think is rather staple but never tried it before:

Let's assume I have a large numbers of objects of a certain class (say 1500). then I need to add a new attribute to this class.

As far as I know, all __old__ objects get this new attribute, but it is not initialized to any "default value". Instead, the default value is dependent on the attribute's datatype.

Question: how do I set the default value for the new attribute in all old objects ?

PHP script?
some kind of (infernal :-) ) workflow?
admin functionality that I don't know ?
an unknown eZ update script?
Any ideas? :-)

TIA,

M.B.

I would write a small extension which updates all you class objects.

All the script has to do is:

1. Create new object version
2. Store that version
3. Publish the new object version

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Best regards
