Ability to edit multiple objects in a grid

[jeremystretch]

NetBox version

v4.3.2

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Implement the ability to edit multiple objects simultaneously in a grid format (like a spreadsheet). This is similar to the existing bulk edit functionality, but permits individual attributes to edited directly. Once the form is submitted, all changes will be applied in bulk in an all-or-none transaction. Any failure should return the user to the grid edit form.

Proposed workflow:

1. Navigate to the list of objects.
2. Select the objects to be edited.
3. Optional: Select the fields to be edited (to limit the form/grid size).
4. Make the desired changes to the selected objects.
5. Submit the form to effect the changes.

Use case

This workflow will provide a more advanced variation of the current bulk editing functionality, which is limited to setting the same value for an attribute across all selected objects.
