# Move Field Values
> Move values from one product field to another across your selection. The source field is cleared, so it is perfect for migrating data between fields.
Move the value from one field into another across many products at once. Move Field Values reads a source field, writes it to a target field, and then clears the source field. Use it to migrate data when you reorganize your fields, consolidate two fields into one, or shift a value into the field a channel expects.
It works like [Copy Field Values](/en/essentials/bulk-editing/copy-field-values), with one key difference: after the value is transferred, the source field is emptied. WisePIM checks that the two fields are compatible and shows you how values will convert before you apply.
Moving clears the source field for every affected product. If you might need the original values later, [export your products](/en/essentials/managing-products) first, or use [Copy Field Values](/en/essentials/bulk-editing/copy-field-values) to keep the source intact.
## Move field values
Check the products you want to update, or use filters and select all matching results.
Click **Bulk Edit**, then search for "Move Field Values" or find it under **Attributes & Custom Fields**.
Choose the field to move from. This field will be cleared after the move.
Choose the field to move into. WisePIM shows whether the two fields are compatible and how values will convert.
Decide whether to write only into empty target fields, then click **Apply**.
## Options
| Option | What it does | Default |
| --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | -------- |
| **Source field** | The field to move values from. It is cleared after the move | Required |
| **Target field** | The field to move values into | Required |
| **Only if target field is empty** | Skips products where the target field already has a value | Off |
You can pick from a wide range of fields: text and SEO fields, identifiers like SKU and EAN, numeric fields like price and weight, enum fields like status and review status, boolean flags, and your custom attributes.
### Type compatibility
When the source and target are different types, WisePIM converts the value and tells you how. For example, a number moved into a text field becomes text, and a decimal moved into a whole-number field is rounded. If two fields cannot be converted at all, the action flags them as incompatible so you can choose a different target.
## When to use it
* **Migrate to a new field.** When you replace one custom attribute with another, move the values across so nothing is left behind.
* **Consolidate fields.** Move a legacy field into the one you actually use, then leave the old field clean and empty.
* **Reorganize after an import.** If a feed lands data in the wrong field, move it to the right one in a single pass.
Turn on **Only if target field is empty** to avoid overwriting values that are already in the target. Products that already have a target value are skipped, and their source value is left in place.
