Hi,
In your action, you want to use the "string" mode, not the "operation" mode.
And in the input field on the right, you want to copy / paste the value to be used for all the products filtered.
Note that in a custom field, you have two columns for values, the "value" and the "title". You need to provide the "value" in the input field, not the "title".
Also, I would recommend adding an extra filter on the custom field column with the mode "=" and the input field empty.
That way, it will only fill the custom field of the products where that field is empty.
