How can I ensure new fields are populated on existing collection items?
2
As the title says 🙂
Whenever I add a new field, it doesn't get populated even if there's a defaultvalue. Is there any good way to ensure all of them gets this new value?
(And perhaps clear old or fields that changed name, e.g. newField -> newfield = both fields can exist)
