Hi, I don't know about the REST API but a few years ago for some obscure reason I needed to move a whole bunch of layer definitions from one workspace (id) to another. Cooked a quick python script for that ( https://gist.github.com/tkardi/97ef9bc6b0cde411bfb85feccdb9b7ed). It will not suite your exact needs but most probably as a general idea it would still hold.
The very fine print in bold letters: Do pay attention: this approach is an absolutely sure way of messing up the whole datastore - that is basically breaking all your geoserver services. So caution is advised (and a backup of your data dir). The REST API solution would be the correct solution here but if all else fails and you feel like walking on the edge then ... :) All the best, (and sorry for the bad advice) Tõnis -- @tkardi Kontakt Bar-On, Itay (<itay.ba...@vlaardingen.nl>) kirjutas kuupäeval E, 3. juuni 2019 kell 14:37: > Hi there, > > > > I am currently searchning for a way to update ca. 280 layers with new > keywords.
