Hello
If you have the MyCadTools (https://www.visiativ-industry.fr/mycadtools/) tools, you need to have what you need to be able to do what you want, otherwise you'll have to make a macro.
Kind regards

Thank you for your answers Roger and Denis, it corresponds to my request.
They had already installed the EPDM but their server crashed 2 weeks later and suddenly it doesn't work anymore, and their reseller doesn't want to go back without making them pay for a service again, I often talk about it normally it should come, knowing that my other colleagues don't know about EPDM it's only me to push with the boss =)
I didn't quite understand your answer Stefbeno.
Thank you

Watch this tutorial
via the Custom Properties and Property Form Editor
This will allow you to assign a specific property
Customer, Materials, Supplier, Process, Materials, etc......
And everything can be linked to Excel if necessary

Without the need for "third-party tools" there is the task scheduler (following the Solidworks package) which allows you to do this for "Custom Properties", on files, or folders.
Solidworks Task Scheduler
Update custom properties
(choose folders or files, click next)
Fill in the properties to be updated, or to be created!

I confirm for the task scheduler, the only limitation lies in the fact that the files must be in the same folder otherwise you have to select them 1 to 1 (it seems to me that the multi-selection works).

@Olivier42: Be careful, this is not the case with the basic version of SW.

I just saw the Oliviier tutorial, basically the properties are no longer linked to the part but managed by an excel file for example which allows you not to have to use all the parts already created?
No, it's digital input, with input in a table-type interface,
but no links with any excel (unless I'm mistaken)
It allows you to:
"Add new custom properties or modify existing ones in SolidWorks documents"
http://help.solidworks.com/2016/french/SolidWorks/sldworks/HIDD_CUSTOM_PROPERTY_PAGE.htm
In addition I just saw that you can even work in the configs if you want, so it's a very interesting tool "without the need for third party tools" !!
EDIT: it allows you to choose "files" or "folders" as a target

I confirm the words of olivier42, there is no external table. The Task Scheduler relies on the file's properties if it has any to populate the drop-down menu.
As soon as there is a file that contains properties, it retrieves them to propose them and therefore adds them to the files that do not have them.

Ha okay, but my basic concern is that all the files already created have no properties! And I want to add desired properties to them automatically, so indeed batch properties fits well.
Is it okay, my reasoning is correct?
Read my message again:
"Add new custom properties or modify existing ones in SolidWorks documents"
So yes the scheduler allows you to create properties, for this, you just have to type them in the input box (see screenshot)

Ok, so it replaces the data card found on the EPDM? It's not bad at all.

@Maximus:
Your question was, apart from EPDM, how to create properties in bulk:
The "SW Task Scheduler" with "Update (Create) Properties" is pure "Solid" and fits this role perfectly.
no it does not replace the "EPDM data card" if it is already present at your home (but it can possibly be useful to help you out, it's up to you to manage your EPDM cards to know how to update them properly...)
Be careful not to confuse the "SW Planner" with what @gt22 which is "SW Property Editor" has put in, they are two different things.
