Bulk edit of identifiers
Hi,

is there a way to bulk remove a chosen identifier type without modifying the other identifiers?

E.g. I have got some books with ISBN and Google and Douban identifers.
I would like to bulk remove all the Douban identifiers while keeping untouched the ISBN and Google ones.

Thanks for any help/pointers,

Thanks - I tried your suggestion however after applying it I am still left with the field untouched.

Specifically in the previous of Search and Replace I can see that the values are being stripped but once I press ok no change has taken place.

I am puzzled

Use the same identifier type (amazon) in both "Identifier type" boxes.
