Bulk connections rename

[jamgrorg]

Hey, may be someone can add such functionality to MeshCentral for bulk connections rename?
We're using office name in connection names (there's about 500+ connections) but office has been renamed. And we've no apportunity to change multiple connections names at ones. Or maybe we can update it in database somehow?

the isnt a bulk/batch feature in the web ui as far as im aware
BUT
you can use the meshctrl.js to list all your devices/deviceids
then once you have that data, loop what you need and use the same thing to edit the device
