I have a site with a hundred+ or so entries. I've added a new field to my entry template, but it won't take effect until it's been activated by a onSaveEntry event.

I've gone through maybe 15 entries or so now and resaved them manually, but it's proving to be a long and painstaking process.

Is there a way for me to batch resave all enabled entries in order to trigger this onSaveEntry event?

If you re-save the section(s) that your entries are in, it should re-trigger a save of all of the entries.

Hope that helps!

    This is the correct answer, I don't see why it was down voted. Go to "Settings > Sections" and then the section containing your entries and hit save. This will trigger a bulk re-save of all of the entries.

    This did in fact resave all entries (there was a task that ran in my sidebar confirming as much: cl.ly/221m2V0p2i41). Didn't seem to trigger the onSaveEntry event though; my field's values have gone unchanged. Is this intentional or am I missing something?

    I have this exact problem with 2000+ entries, how did you eventually manage to do this? Re saving the section doesn't work

    Two-year-ago Jake, you beauty. Thanks! Works great in Craft 3.

Craft can now do this via the CLI

    Does this trigger events like Entry::EVENT_BEFORE_SAVE? I can get the command line resave/entries to work but Events don't seem to be firing.
