Bulk update fields using SPE

I came across a scenario, where I need to update the email field for all custom forms built with ‘EmailTemplate’. Since it’s going to be a bulk update, decided to do it in SPE(so powerful!)

Here is the script I wrote –

	$path = "master:/sitecore/content/external_forms"
	$templateName = "EmailTemplate"
	$emailAddresses = "test@test.com"
	$fieldName = "ToEmail"

	$items = Get-ChildItem -Path $path -Recurse \| Where-Object { $_.TemplateName -eq $templateName }

	foreach($item in $items) {
	if($item.Fields[$fieldName] -ne 'null'){
	$item.Editing.BeginEdit()
	$item.Fields[$fieldName].Value = $emailAddresses
	$item.Editing.EndEdit()
	Write-Host ($item.Name + ": " + $item.Fields[$fieldName].Value)
	}
	}
