mr groups add-meta
Merge a Meta JSON object onto multiple Groups at once. Both arguments
are required: --ids selects the target Groups (comma-separated) and
--meta is a JSON object string that is merged onto each target's
existing Meta. Top-level keys named in --meta replace the stored
value; keys not named are preserved.
How nested objects merge depends on the database. PostgreSQL replaces a
nested object wholesale, while SQLite merges into it recursively and
removes any key whose value is null. Pass whole top-level values when
the two must agree.
To edit a single path on a single group, prefer group edit-meta which
takes a dotted path + JSON literal. This bulk variant is best for
stamping the same set of keys across many Groups.
Usage
mr groups add-meta
Examples
Stamp one Meta key across three groups
mr groups add-meta --ids 10,11,12 --meta '{"reviewed":true}'
Merge multiple keys
mr groups add-meta --ids 10 --meta '{"season":"winter","owner":"alice"}'
