I suggest to apply changes to all the selected entities, when it is possible.
In Table View you can use copy/paste to update many fields at once.
I agree, sometimes this solution fits. Not in my case though. Anyways, I don’t see this as a musthave feature, more like a tiny UI tweak which sometimes may be a pleasant surprise
I know this is 3 years old. But now that we’re talking about minor refinements to UX. I think this qualifies. To those who are less tech savy, this is how they would try to change many entities at once.
