Description

During some model development, in an environment that does not have the Excel plugin available, I thought about some bulk actions that would have made my life much easier if they were available:

Ideas:

• Bulk delete: Multi select rows and delete all. Only available if row types of the selected rows are the same???
• Bulk add/Remove ParameterType:
  • Flow A:
    • Multi select ED's
    • Drag parameterType from ParameterType browsers to ED browser and drop an a selected row
    • ParameterType should be added to/removed from all selected ED rows
  • Flow B
    • Add a menu option in ED browser: Bulk Add/Remove ParameterType
    • (multi) select Category/DomainOfExpertise and a ParameterType (or even multiple?), see dialog to apply ActualFiniteStateList to multiple parameters.
• Bulk (un?)set parameter Option Dependent
  • Flow A:
    • Multiselect multiple ParameterType rows
    • Add menu option "Make OptionDependent"
  • Flow B
    • Add a menu option in ED browser: Bulk Set Option Dependent
    • (multi) select Category/DomainOfExpertise and a ParameterType (or even multiple?), see dialog to apply ActualFiniteStateList to multiple parameters.
• Bulk Apply Category
  • Multiselect multiple rows
  • Add menu option "Add Category"
• Bulk Remove Category
  • Multiselect multiple rows
  • Add menu option "Remove Category"
• Create Remove counterpart of Apply ActualFiniteStateList bulk edit
• Maybe move Apply ActualFiniteStateList should be moved/copied to ED browser???
• (Not easy!) Bulk edit properties in a PropertyGrid (UI Component) the way it works in, for example, Visual Studio and DevExpress reporting.
  • Multi select rows in ED browser
  • Show property grid containing all mutual properties for those rows. If all selected rows share the same value for a specific property, then show that. in PropertyGrid. Otherwise, show empty.
  • Edit values in PropertyGrid
  • Propagate all changed values in the PropertyGrid to the Things behind the selected Rows
  • Save all changed things
