NetBox version

v3.1.5

Python version

3.9

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Select multiple interfaces of a device
  2. Edit them
  3. Enter test[1-42] into the "Label" field
  4. Save

Expected Behavior

Like with bulk creation, where there's a hint "Alphanumeric ranges are supported. (Must match the number of names being created.)", I'd expect the labels to be test1, test2, test3, ..., test42.

Observed Behavior

The labels are all the same, namely test[1-42], so alphanumeric ranges aren't supported in bulk editing.
