You can abuse ZopeFind for this. Click on the Find tab of a folder, click=
 on=20
"advanced..."

In the expression field enter something like:

setProperty('propertyname', 'value')

This will call the above for all objects in the folder when you do the se=
arch.=20
No results will appear, but it will have touched all of the objects.

If you want to do it for only one type of object try:

meta_type=3D=3D'some type' and setProperty('propertyname', 'value')
