No, use Search and Replace to clear them or give them a common value. If the common value is formatted text try this ==>> do one in Single MDE, copy the html to clipboard, and paste that into the Replace with box in Bulk MDE.

All I can suggest is a saved search or VL for empty column and Bulk MDE to set the default value. Or sort on the column and Bulk MDE on the empties.

And advantage of editing metadata data in the book list is that its easy to get things like this right when books are first added - especially if you add into an intake library.
