 * Very useful plugin Thank You!
 * Would the possibility of using post_title post_content or tags
    as a value when
   bulk editing a custom fields.
 * For that custom field value it would display or enter the post tile or tags.
 * Thanks Again

 * I think the better way to do this would be to just pull the name or post content
   in your theme. Why would you need to be loading these values in the custom field?
   Seems like a bad idea to duplicate content like that.

   fields to be the same as the Tittle which is post_title.

 * Well if you can figure out what custom field All In One stores the names in, 
   you could use bulk edit mode to change them all at once. OR you could just write
   your own custom UPDATE query in phpmyadmin which would probably be a much better
   solution.

 * Is there a way we could use “post_title” as a value in the plugin?

 * Yes, but it would be the query. Something like:
 * `UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = (SELECT post_title FROM wp_posts WHERE post_id
   = wp_postmeta.post_id) AND meta_key = 'whatever the all in one title key is'`
 * WARNING: be very careful with this query. Backup before you run it. Field names
   may need to be changed. I can’t guarantee anything about it. Make sure you understand
   what it is doing before you run it.
 * EDIT: Sorry, just reread your post. I meant to say: “No, I don’t want to get 
   into using wildcards and db values like that in the plugin.”

 * That query gave me an error:
 * #1242 – Subquery returns more than 1 row

 * I don’t know, you’ll have to play around with the SQL some more and figure out
   what’s going on. Sorry it didn’t work….
