ryancey proposes a feature for bulk editing categories, suggesting initial actions like delete, color change, parent category assignment, image updates, and template changes. DNSTARS agrees, comparing it to bulk topic editing. jimkleiber adds a desire for bulk permission changes. hellekin inquires about simultaneous parent category changes, and nathank clarifies notification settings for parent categories. hellekin reiterates the request for bulk category actions, similar to bulk topic actions.
It would be nice to have an admin view of all the categories (as a table list) and being able to apply bulk changes.
Maybe a first version would allow to perform these actions only:
… as they don’t require as much brain fluid as merging settings or permissions which can be nested.
Or maybe just overwrite everything?
I’d love your feedback on that.
I think this is a good idea, something in a similar vein to bulk selection and editing of topics would save lots of time, since the explorer plug in is read only and running rails commands is discouraged that leaves everyone in the “reverse engineer the API if you don’t want to spend an hour adjusting things” I think.
Yea and I’d also love the ability to bulk change permissions 
האם יש דרך בשנת 2025 לשנות את ההורה בו-זמנית על n קטגוריות? בין אם באמצעות ממשק משתמש או בקונסול?
אני לא בטוח שאני מבין מה אתה שואל.
למשך זמן מה, אתה יכול לשנות את ההתראות עבור הורה וכל הילדים שלו. אבל אני לא חושב שאנחנו יכולים יותר.
In the topic list, as an admin, you can select all topics and perform bulk actions on them. I’m asking for the same towards categories.
But actually I did it manually already
