Sitecore PowerShell script: Copy value of one field to another

I like Sitecore but I started to love Sitecore PowerShell. The way it’s interacting with Sitecore and allows developers to write command with C# code is amazing.

I have migrated SharePoint records in Sitecore in my earlier post.

This time I am bulk updating English and Arabic news items where news image field value is copied to another news fields “News List Image”.

cls

#input

$newsTemplateId = "{B69277AD-E917-4B9F-9136-A12E0A3E462F}"

$newsParentPath = "master:/sitecore/content/Habitat/Home/News"

$counter = 1

$allNewsItems = Get-ChildItem -Path $newsParentPath -Recurse

$filteredNewsItems = $allNewsItems | Where-Object { $_.TemplateId -eq $newsTemplateId }

foreach($newsItem in $filteredNewsItems) {

        if($newsItem.NewsListImage -eq "")

        {

            #Update English content

            $newsItem.Editing.BeginEdit()

            $newsItem.NewsListImage = $newsItem.NewsImage

            $newsItem.Editing.EndEdit()

   

            #Get Arebic Content    

            $newsArebicItem = Get-Item master: -ID $newsItem.ID -Language "ar-QA"

            #Check if Arebic content is exist

            if($newsArebicItem -ne $null)

            {

                #Update Arabic content  

                $newsArebicItem.Editing.BeginEdit()

                $newsArebicItem.NewsListImage = $newsArebicItem.NewsImage

                $newsArebicItem.Editing.EndEdit()

            }

            $counter

            $counter = $counter + 1

        }

        else

        {

            Write-Host "Image exist for item id " $newsItem.ID " and name " $newsItem.Name

        }

}

Feel free to use this script for bulk updating field values.

}

Any suggestions or improvements are most welcome.
