Add title and date created in bulk edition

[Philmo67]

Hello, the new bulk edition screen is really nice ! 👍 I think it could be interesting to be able to act on the title and created date of documents in this screen too.

Title and date is something that is very specific to each document. Cases where you'd want to set a title on many documents are pretty rare, I'd figure.

What exactly do you have in mind?

Yea agreed @jonaswinkler , title seems like it should be unique. Date I could occasionally see being useful e.g. uploaded some documents which all go the wrong date / no date though Im sorta curious how many people would use it / have had a need for it. As usual, happy to assist JW whenever you get around to this

I would like to second @shamoon with adding "date" as a bulk edit option.

[jonaswinkler]

What should this function do?

Provide a date selector and the ability to assign that date to the "created" field of all selected documents?

[shamoon]

That’s what I imagined the OP meant, yea.

[Philmo67]

Exactly : provide an input field for titles and a date selector for "created" and assign their contents to all selected documents. Created date bulk edition could be useful for a batch of documents containing no dates or causing OCR problems. Titles would be useful for recurrent document such as water/electricity/gas/internet/transportation/mobile phone bills, bank account statements, for which the title can remain generic. I agree that the title is an interesting field for adding details to a document ("Red car invoice", "Bob's mobile phone purchase" etc.) but there are also documents for which it is possible to remain generic and therefore for which it may be time-consuming to have to choose an individualized title.

I see.

Hello, are there any plans on this ?
