Issue

User has changed their schema to have project-level permissions and now want to assign project folders to their existing registered entities so that these permissions will be reflected on them as well. 

Environment

Registry, Bulk update, Worklist

Cause

User cannot bulk assign project folders to entities from the Registry page and would have to go into the Metadata tab of each entity to do this action.

Resolution steps

For < 500 entities: (Worklists can only have up to 500 items)

  1. Add the entities to a worklist.
  2. Select them all from the worklist.
  3. Click "Move to folder".

For > 500 entities:

 

1. Use the bulk update entities spreadsheet import flow

2. Include a column in your spreadsheet that specifies the project folder

3. Match this column to column type "New folder path"
