Assign Category to multiple already existing Discussions

Question

I am dealing with Community Sites in SharePoint 2013. I have a Discussion Board with multiple discussions in it, all of them with a blank Category field associated.

I've created a Category and I would like to assign / attach this attribute to all the discussions in the discussion board. I cannot find any reference to this, is there a quick way to proceed?

One more thing; Is it normal that the default list "Discussion List" in the site is empty, even if the discussion board contains multiple elements?

Answer 1

The easiest way to update all the discussions to bind the category values is through PowerShell Script.
