Any way to "Bulk edit" the section field in Word Lists?

I've tried (to no avail) to find a way to bulk edit the section field on my word list. I have a MASSIVE wordlist that contains ALL the lemmas found in the ESV OT (9,142 cards/entries). I want to add section titles to large chunks of entries (by count), so that I can turn on/off certain sections in the Flashcard app when I'm memorizing vocabulary.

I actually tried exporting to a spreadsheet, editing there, then re-adding (from the clipboard, as there's no import option), but this simply does not work. Unless there's a way to bulk edit this field, I really don't believe it's at all useful.

Anyone have any success with this?

There's no bulk-edit of Word List fields

If you want to use import in a meaningful way for such things, you need to use the old Libronix XML file format. See how: https://community.logos.com/forums/p/99758/689707.aspx#689707

I thought it was going to be (and it may still be), but I've not been able to import...I'm on a Mac so I assume the file paths will be different. Any advice?

Found your post looking for the answer to the same question. I'm with you Reuben. Bulk editing really should be implemented. I want to see importing CSV/TSV files as well. For people who know how to utilize REGEX, it would be easy to edit thousands of entries in a few seconds, and then import the new CSV files.

Concur 6.11 SR-1 import from clipboard has parsing issues so "section" value becomes word in list with count (plus gloss added to word list with count).

Also "Add" from a passage lacks option to specify section.

FYI: thread => https://community.logos.com/forums/p/54036/393720.aspx#393720 shows Logos 4.6 Import Word List on Mac OS X

Note: https://documents.logos.com shows Word List contents, but lacks editing capability.
