Title: Bulk-edit properties of multiple objects selected via inline references in the page editor
Category: Feature Requests
Tags: Batch-Editing, Properties, Editor-or-Blocks, Queries, Workflow
Is your feature request related to a problem?
When multiple objects of the same type are referenced inline on a page (e.g., as mentions @Task A, @Task B, or as inline link blocks), there is currently no way to edit their properties in bulk from the editor context. Each object must be opened individually. This is especially painful when reviewing a project page with many task references and wanting to triage them (e.g., set Priority = High on a selection of tasks).
Note: Batch editing in standalone Queries/Sets is already supported and works well. This request is specifically about the page editor context, where objects appear as inline references rather than in a Query view.
Describe the solution you’d like
-
Multi-select inline references in the page editor: Allow selecting multiple inline object mentions/links (e.g., via click + Shift-click, or a checkbox mode).
-
Context menu → Edit Property: On right-clicking the selection, expose a “Edit property…” action that:
-
Shows only properties shared across all selected objects (i.e., properties defined on their common Type, or on all of them if mixed types are selected).
-
Allows setting a value for the chosen property, applied to all selected objects.
-
-
(Optional / nice to have): A similar affordance when objects of the same type are displayed in an inline Query embedded in a page — since multi-select in inline sets has had issues in the past.
Describe alternatives you’ve considered
-
Opening each object individually and editing the property → works but is tedious at scale.
-
Creating a dedicated Query filtered to the same objects and using the existing batch-edit there → functional workaround but requires navigating away from the current page and setting up a filter.
Real-world use case
On a sprint planning page, I have inline references to a dozen Task objects. After a team discussion, I want to mark several of them as Priority = High. I select them in the editor, right-click → “Edit property” → Priority → High. Done in one step, without leaving the page.
