bulk editing #180

Closed mfrasca closed 8 years ago

From @mfrasca on April 20, 2015 16:41

is it possible to bulk edit objects? something like, one needs to move a whole group of plants from one location to the other. it can really be a huge lot of them, so this would save us boring tasks.

Copied from original issue: mfrasca/bauble.classic#54

should be careful with possible excesses, like moving a (whole group of) plant identification from one species to the other. the above sounds like a misuse, imagine that the point was that a whole group of plants had been identified so some species and then the species are marked as synonym of one other single species: you do not necessarily need change the identification. but for locations no: I consider it a legitimate request.

@mfrasca Is there a similarity here to my comments on repeated source info for multiple accessions in issue #159 ?

mfrasca commented 8 years ago

this one is about modifying a group of already existing objects. think of this as applying a transformation to all objects of a set, like move everything that is on this table to that other table without changing relative positions.

159 looks like specifying the position of something which did not yet have any, which possibly did not even exist before the bulk edit action.
