Add the option to select multiple objects and “turn them into” another type.

Describe the solution you’d like

You select the objects and the same option to change object type appears as when you select only one

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

Being able to change multiple items from set view in a single click

Select multiple object and delete…should also be available option

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have a set of notes that I use for university and they are all the type Note but now with the latest update (0.21.1), I’m unable to make new ones with a description/title.

Describe the solution you’d like
One solution that would easily solve my problem would be to allow the selection of many objects and be able to convert them into a different type.

e.g. I could select all of my university notes and convert them to type Document to get title/description support back.

Hi Evan,

Having the same problem I changed the layout of my notes to “Basic” and created a new template from it. Doing that I had the headlines I was looking for :smiley:.

Having the same problem. I want to batch convert page objects to another objects.

You can now from sets / collections.

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND

The selection of multiple pages are limited in the app. It should be unlimited!

HOW COULD IT BE DONE

ᅟThe multiple selection function should be connected to the function of changing types, sets, relations at one time on right-click

REAL WORLD USE CASES

Notion has the similar functions which many people enjoy. If we want to use this app as the data management tool, the function needs to be included!!

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

ᅟAlready, the multi change of types in one time is requested. But, it should be linked to the functions of unlimited multi selection and the change of sets and relations in one time.

Hi @albkw93, thanks for posting! As you mentioned, there are a few similar ideas to edit multiple Objects with multiselecting:

Multiselect Objects to change the Type

Multiselect Objects to rdit Relations in Set

Am I correct to assume the only addition to the request is to make the option for these changes available in a right click menu? I’ve edited the title of your post to reflect this. Let me know if you want to change it back.

PS: Could you remove the pencil :pencil2: icons? Those are just to indicate where you can edit the template.

This hasn’t been implemented on the Android app

Would also be so great to be able to select several objects and turn it into one ! For putting everything together in bold, in a certain type of block, etc.
