Implement bulk actions for form submissions / responses - form builder

lb- commented 2 years ago

Is your proposal related to a problem?

Bulk actions was released in Wagtail 2.15
This supports Page, User, Image and Document models
However, it would be great to have this also support Form Responses
Initially this would be a layout change to match other content, however the main benefit is extending behaviour through custom bulk actions.

Describe the solution you'd like

When navigating to the submissions for a form page, there should be a way to bulk delete items by using the bulk actions system.
It should also be possible to add additional bulk actions as documented https://docs.wagtail.org/en/stable/extending/custom_bulk_actions.html#registering-a-custom-bulk-action

Describe alternatives you've considered

Advising users to be aware that the UI is different in form builder.
Building additional custom actions or buttons through customisations.

Flagging as a good first issue as this should hopefully be a matter of investigating existing code (documents listing would be best) and seeing how to implement the same in the form submissions listing.

Unlike https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/issues/8183 there is no need to work out how to deal with the other buttons on hover.

@lb- help to get started on it, please.

@PaarthAgarwal I suggest starting with https://docs.wagtail.org/en/stable/extending/custom_bulk_actions.html

Have a look at how the bulk actions is built for documents, read through all the files in wagtail/documents/views/bulk_actions and wagtail/admin/templates/wagtailadmin/bulk_actions to get a feel for the code and the templates used.

We will have to create only the deleting action?

We will have to create only the deleting action?

Currently form submissions only support deletion, so that is all that would be needed for resolving this issue.

There are discussions about adding other actions (such as archive - https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/issues/8180 ) but that would not be in scope of this issue, just good to be aware of.
