When configuring the "Modify field values" action in Views Bulk Edit, the default Change method is set to Append to the current value.
In most editorial workflows, the expected and safer behavior is to Replace the current value rather than appending. Leaving it as "Append" by default can cause unexpected data concatenation, especially for text fields.
Change the default selection of Change method from Append to the current value → Replace the current value.
This ensures more predictable and safer behavior for content editors.
Other options:
Have 3 new VBO actions like
0- Not just modify field values
1- Replace field values
2- Append field values
3- prepend field values ( something like
✨
Add a "Prepend to the current value" to the "Modify field values" action
Postponed
but as its own VBO action )
