Custom Column Admin

I've got a custom column for the quality of my books.

I decided that one of the values was verbose so I edited it down to a shorter form of words.

That worked, but all the books with that setting (about 300) did not inherit the new setting - they retained the old form of wording.

Is there any way to make these refresh?

Sorry if this has been discussed earlier; if it has I couldn't find it.

You can select all the books with the old value and use the bulk metadata edit to change the value. Or, if the column is displayed in the tag browser, you can edit it there and it will change in all the books.
