Mass-editing of attributes

We want to be able to modify attributes for multiple objects, in a single operation.

There is a core QEP open, with specifications from @andreasneumann

Hi Denis,

We (the Kanton Zug) also have interest in this functionality (search in multiple fields directly from the form view).

I would like to be informed about the specification.

Would the result of the search be a filtered set or selection or let the user decide if he wants to filter or select?

My first thought is that we have a check box in front of each widget allow to use it or not in the search. It would be an "AND" filter. Then, you would have "set as selection" and "add (/remove) to (/from) selection" buttons. Add to selection would be the way of creating "OR" filters.

But I have no strong opinion on this. Let's keep in touch with Nyall to define this.

Will you do a specification document where we all can review/comment? E.g. on Google docs or on Github Wiki?

I am waiting on Nyall's opinion and start something then. I just created it, so if you want to write anything down, you can start straight ahead. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OBis2-WM95PJEKJ-V9VA4NDx_kyHFWAsoLfl2s-MApw
