Please put some more effort into your proposed implementation.

Sorry, I just want to associate contact A with multiple devices. When I select multiple devices at the same time and click "Edit Selected", the Contact cannot be modified, and the netbox api cannot associate the contact with the device or virtual machine.

I had opened a similar discussion on this topic. #8413
"We have added a few contacts, contact groups, and contact roles, but assigning a contact to a device one at a time in the GUI is not really feasible with 1000s of devices. It would be nice to be able to do a bulk edit on a bunch of existing devices and assign the contact(s). It would also be nice to be able to include the contact(s) details when you do a bulk import of devices."

It could also be useful to include comments/ideas from discussion #8359 about the ability to link a contact group to an object as well as the current contact linkage capability.

being able to link a contact / contact group to a tenant might be a solution around this.
that way you just have to update the contact assignments to the tenant

Bulk contact edits would be very useful for cases when one needs to change or assign contacts for devices/VMs if that objects are changed its relation to tenants. Or massively created by scripts like netbox-sync
