Describe the feature/enhancement
Would it be possible to have an option to add, instead of replace for the bulk editor? For instance, if I select a few books to bulk/mass edit and enter a tag, all existing tags will be replaced with the one new tag.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Jul 20, 2022):
I'm not sure about this because I don't know what the UI would look like. I think the workaround for this shouldn't be too bad, batch editing the items that already have the same tag.
@hobesman commented on GitHub (Jul 28, 2022):
I think the idea is for example with genre or tags, if you want to add a tag or genre without losing the existing info. So if I have 10 unrelated books with tags, and I want to add a tag to all of them without losing the tags that each already has, I can't use bulk.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Jul 28, 2022):
That was my understanding as well, I'm just not sure how the UI would look like for that so it is clear to the user
@wazabees commented on GitHub (Jul 28, 2022):
Maybe an append button and an information overlay that if it's un-ticked, the data filled in the form will overwrite existing data?
I suck at mockups, but hey.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Jul 30, 2022):
The problem is you wouldn't be appending a subtitle or a publish year. It wouldn't make sense to go next to "Explicit" either.
@chyron8472 commented on GitHub (Dec 13, 2022):
A mark to Append/Replace should go next to, or in place of, the checkmark. Maybe a toggle switch that if toggled to the left will "Replace", or to the right will "Append".
Maybe there can be a small text box above the toggle switch that denotes which one is toggled for that field,
@hobesman commented on GitHub (Dec 13, 2022):
I think another option would be: tick to the left is off/append (then if the text box is empty it appends nothing) and tick to the right is overwrite. That way the toggle could replace the check box altogether.
Then again I like the intuitiveness of having an on/off control and a separate append/overwrite control. So maybe check's for on/off and toggles for append/replace.
@gvarph commented on GitHub (Dec 13, 2022):
Or maybe add a second div next to 'map details'. It could look something like this (Include only the fields that can contain multiple items)
@hobesman commented on GitHub (Dec 13, 2022):
Hmm. What if there's something for Author in both divs? How should it be handled? Seems redundant. But I think the multi-div idea could have merit.
Another idea: Maybe one master toggle "Append/Replace" at the top, and certain fields drop away/grey out if set to Append.
