In Drupal, there's a drush entity:save
(alias esav
) command which is useful when you want to save entities in bulk.
I needed to use this command the other day to save some entities that update a field value on the entity during a presave hook. Instead of running a database update to change the data, I just triggered the update by saving the entities, e.g
drush esav your_entity_type_id 12167,12168,12169,12170,12171,12172
To save all entities of a type, you can use:
drush esav your_entity_type_id
