Increase limit on bulk emails to be the same as the limit on publishing requirements (500)
It is possible to publish a requirement to 500 requests at a time. You can also select the 'generate correspondence' box to simultaneously send an email to the primary contact.
However, there is a limit of 100 when sending emails, so this functionality does not work on any of the 500 requirements.
Please align the limit on sending emails with the limit on publishing requirements (or any other way of working with a bulk group of records) so that both actions can be done at the same time.
Ideally this should be back to 1000 as it was in Classic, but if not then 500. 100 is insufficient for any sizable grant programme.

I'm updating the status of this idea to Reviewed: Open for Voting. Right now, there is still a limit of generating emails to up to 100 recipients at a time.
However, we did recently update Grantmaking to enable you to select exactly 100 records at a time. I think you might find that this update makes it much easier to send emails to large groups, because you no longer need to manually select up to 100 records. You do still need to do this 5 times if you're sending to 500 recipients, but it's much faster than before.
For other actions, which don't have a limit of 100 records, you can click "select all" on multiple pages to increase the selection from 100 records, to 200, etc. We intend to add options in the future to show 200 or 500 records per page, etc., to make that even easier. (that's covered in another Idea, as well).
So, we'll keep this idea open, for the specific suggestion that's here, but we do hope you find sending emails to already be much easier than it was when this idea was first submitted. Let us know what you think!

Hi There, although you can batch update the first 500 records, you cannot then select the next 500 records without doing so individually. This is not very helpful and where Classic sky had the pages of 100 records that would be less time consuming to use when updating a batch of 7000 records which i had to do recently. Can you please add the ability to select pages of 500 records?
