Hi,
Go in the menu System>Mass actions and create a mass action with:
- the data type "product"
- a filter "category columns" on the "category_id" column being equal to the id of the category you want to target
- a filter "product columns" on the "product_manufacturer_id" column being equal to the id of the brand you want to target
- an action "update the values" with what you want to change.
Once you click on the "process" button, it will run the mass action on all the targeted products.
