More bulk operations in the admin backend

[stefanmuellerdo]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe..
I'm always frustrated when I have to manually delete unused products/brands in a massive 'click and delete' operation (leaving the grid, visiting each product detail screen, finding the delete button, clicking the delete button, clicking the delete confirmation button, going back to the grid, finding the next item to work on) which adds unneccessary work load.

Because bulk operations are not supported in the admin backend. Bulk editing of selected items is a common, state-of-the-art feature and expected by professional users. At the moment only bulk export of selected items is supported and this leaves many use cases open.

Describe the solution you'd like

• a menu in the grid like Delete at least, for fast bulk removal of brands / products / categories / whatever
• even better would be an additional Quick Edit feature (like wordpress), where you can bulk edit all selected items on specific stuff (set price to X, visibility, listed on homepage etc) right there in the grid

Describe alternatives you've considered
Web API scripting (takes effort to set up for each delete / edit)

The existing options of the admin grid should be used for such actions. New features are not necessary here. They are currently only missing for some grids. For deleting, there is the selection column including the delete selection button. Categories should not be deleted in bulk, as this can lead to unwanted results, see delete category dialog. How likely is it that a property must be set to the same value for several entities?

How likely is it that a property must be set to the same value for several entities?

• making 10 Products unpublished in one step
• adding 15 Products to a category
• etc.

This edit hassle comes up often esp. when in projects
