I need to edit about 10,000 text fields by adding in a number zero in front of all of them.

Example: My text field is now saying 12345 and i need them to say 012345 instead.

Can this be done on the CMS itself or can anyone suggest a simple solution.

Thank you.

Hi,

If you have experience with mySQL you could run a mySQL command to prepend the field to add 0.

This could be done via phpMyAdmin or using the MySQL Console Add-On here:

Be sure to make a complete backup of your database first. And if you have a staging environment,  that would be preferred.
