We've got another chunk of functionality that works fine in the installed version of GIFTS and isn't present in GIFTS Online, and that's batch updating requests.

I want to be able to take a whole batch of requests, check the checkboxes for them, and then batch update sections of all of those requests at once.

Real life user case: Our PO's move all of our grants that are ready for sign-off to "On Agenda" status as they are ready to be signed off on.  After the entire agenda is signed--and this could be 25+ requests--I have historically been able to batch update the Meeting Date, and then batch update the Project Description (append/blank line) to add details to ALL of the requests on the agenda at the same time noting who signed the agenda, when, etc.

You could batch update any coding table, plus some additional fields.

That functionality isn't available at all in GO.  All I can do, apparently, is change status to the whole batch.  (Which, ironically, is the one part of batch processing I did manually. There's a bunch of housekeeping stuff that needs to be done related to a status change. So that does me no good.)

Please fix this.  The number of things I could do in batch before and can't do now in GO is already no fun, and this would help me out quite a bit.

The attached screencap is from my Alta DB.

Thanks!
