This is your best option, IMO. If your list is too long (+100 items) or just long, you can loop recurring workflows to make it happen.

> List Processor List Processor brings a much awaited functionality. Currently if you want to run a workflow on a bunch of things, you can run api workflow on a list. But that also means you don’t know when its done, and you have to store and retrieve value from the database making it complex and slow. List processor allows you to do this right on the page. Unlike api workflows, it can also trigger another workflow that you define once its done. For Example applications, think of the instances …

as well as other options. I don’t know how big your list is or if this is even the most efficient, but it might also make sense to download the csv of your table, make changes with a script, sheets/excel, even notepad’s find and replace, and reupload it?
