    Do you want to do this a automated way or a manual approach will work? It's quite simple to do this manually, but doing it in bulk will require some scripting.

  • Hi. Manually i can do but having 100+ shp files it would be a good excercise to start looking into scripting.

  • Your first task can be done using the Model Builder from the Processing Toolbox and using the Field Calculator algorithm to add a new field. When you save this model, you can right-click on it and run it as a batch process. I agree with @spatialthoughts that for your second task, there will be some scripting involved which you can add to your Model using the Advanced Python field calculator algorithm.
