Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

It would be nice to be able to bulk edit books that have common field values in the metadata. I have a over 20 audiobooks where the system has put the narrator as the author and the author as the narrator. At the moment, I need to manually modify each book. I would like to select all the books that have this issue, and then modify those two fields that have the same value. It would affect all the selected books.

Why would this be helpful?

There are times when the automated metadata generation puts incorrect values in series of books and a bulk edit feature would be nice.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

This would be the same edit view except that certain fields would be grayed out.

This is already implemented in the web client. You can either edit books individually or in bulk from the Bulk Edit page.
