Bulk edit support 

Are there any plans to add bulk edit support in the next version? I often need to move several issues to a different milestone, sometimes different category, assign several issues to specific person, etc. It would be very helpful if I could edit a specific field of a set of issues.

Easiest to implement would probably be to allow users select issues with check-box (need to show all issues on one page) and then present a form (same page or different page) similar to edit issue form, but only some fields can be changed (no point to changing title or description for example).

Another option would be to support drag and drop. That's more convinient, but probably harder to implement. Here're examples of what i'm talking about:

Thanks

Bulk editing is on the roadmap for version 0.8.  You can find it logged as issue # 331 in the issue tracker.
I took a look at those links and both look very interesting.  I am guessing that it will most likely be implemented as check boxes but the drag and drop would be very cool.

Re: Bulk edit support 

Thanks. I knew I created a feature request for that. Didn't realize it was on the roadmap.
