What's the proper way to bulk edit metadata?

Help

Hello guys, is there a proper (best practice) way to bulk edit the YAML metadata on multiple pages (files) in Obsidian?

Say I have 30 files which are using the following metadata selector:

---
medium: book
---

Yet, for those 30 files I want to change this specific selector to:

---
source: book
---

Is there a plugin for this use case or is there a Obsidian built-in function?

I would open the vault in VS Code, Atom, or similar and make the changes externally.

And Iā€™d make a backup copy of the vault before running any major changes.

same here, VS Code search and replace.

Check out GitHub - NomarCub/obsidian-open-vscode: Open vault in VSCode button for Obsidian.md
