I am trying to modify the values of one field in all instances of a field collection type. I have a view listing all field collection items, that I want and an operation field with modify entity. Setting value in the field works fine, but I can't use any tokens from the current item, only site tokens are available.

Can this be done with VBO? Are there any other easy ways to do it?

You can create a view of nodes, rather than field collections, then add the collection as a Relationship.

Your node tokens should now be available for application to the field collection fields.

  • I may have misread your question. Did you want tokens from the node, or from the field collection fields?

  • I want tokens from the field collection. Still this might work if there is access to the field collection item fields in the node tokens. I will have to test

  • In my test install the field collection fields do not provide tokens via node tokens, just a token representing the collection itself. Sorry

  • I did find this module while reseraching: drupal.org/project/field_collection_tokens

  • This might work, I was also thinking of trying Advanced entity tokens drupal.org/project/aet
