How to set all product tax categories the same?

I only have one tax category and I'd like all products to be part of it (the 'default tax category'). Is there a way to change this in batch for all products? And perhaps a way to make it so all new products are a member of that tax category?

Hi Jeremynsl,

Theoretically the tax category should be selected by default when you create a new product. Is this category published?

Hi eliot,

The category is published and works fine when I set it manually on a product - its the 'default' tax category. All of the products are set to 'none' however.

Could this be because I imported my products from a text file? I did not fill in anything for the tax category in the text file... Well, regardless I still need to set all the categories to 'default' tax category in batch somehow now.

Ok. I actually added it using the text input field... I didn't save the text I imported. Do I need to type out all the product names in order to overwrite there settings? I can't see any way to just use the product ID.

ie. I could use the text input field like:
product_id,tax_category_id
1,1
2,1
3,1
etc.

Is it possible?

I just updated all the products manually one at a time I'll be more careful next time when importing products!

I do think it might be good to have product id as one of the import target categories though, in a future version.

Yes, I saw that but the nice thing about product id is that you don't have to copy and paste product codes. If you have 50 products, then your product ids range from 1-50 - no need to know there code or names.
