Updates on Bulk Editing?
Any new progress or predictions on this front? I can grind my way through edits with the best of them, but I'm running out of air while waiting for some more efficient database management tools. Tag management is a great start, but collecting research from a myriad of agencies & authors means that my metadata needs a lot of QC. I'd love to fully commit to Zotero, but this is a huge stumbling block right now.

bwiernikThe available option for bulk editing is using the JavaScript API with the Script Runner in the Tools menu.

PNDPermittingThat’s apparent from multiple other forum posts. What I asked is whether there are still development plans for bulk editing, as there are references to it going back to 2013.

dstillmanYes, it is still planned.

PNDPermittingThank you for the response @dstillman ! And thanks for the quick turnaround on returning bulk adding of parent items. I work with a lot of old government reports without available metadata, so I thought I was going to cry when I suddenly had to add parents individually...
