Overview

This node operation allows users to create multiple preset objects in the Directus system in a single execution. It is useful for batch creation of presets, which can define user-specific configurations such as collection views, layouts, and search parameters. For example, a user can create multiple presets for different collections and layouts at once, streamlining the setup process in Directus.

Use Case Examples

  1. Creating multiple presets for different collections and users with specific layouts and search filters.
  2. Batch importing user presets to configure their Directus interface preferences.
