Parameters: key, value (set), search + replace (replace).
The “Current value in selection” picker for replace is built from scalar values of selected products on the grid page.
Tags (valueKind: multi)
MS3 stores multi-value as multiple rows in ms3_product_options with one key.

|---|---|---|
| Add tags | add | Add tags without duplicates (values[]) |
| Replace tag | replace | Exact match: search → replace |
| Remove tag | remove | Remove search from set |
Preview shows tag array before/after. Tag picker is built from the selection like scalar replace.
Legacy format “single string red,green” is read on preview, but apply for multi writes separate DB rows.

Option columns in the table
Options can be added to the grid via columns (key msbe:option:*). Multi-value displays comma-separated. Scalar options support inline editing — see inline editing.
Inline (scalar)
