Allow bulk operations to update content/taxonomy terms

[smayden]

Motivation

Bulk operations in Quickstart 1 allowed you to change a value or taxonomy term across multiple pieces of content. This is very useful and saves time for sites with large amount of content.

Quickstart 1: (with "change value" option):

Quickstart 2:

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

This feature is particularly useful for applying taxonomy terms. For example, on a departmental website you need to apply a new taxonomy term to 200+ people, it would be very laborious to edit each person and add the term.

Proposed Resolution

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice if it could function the same as in Quickstart 1 with the "change value" option (need to investigate what is possible in Drupal 9)

Roles and Permissions considerations

Ideally this functionality could be used by:

• Content administrator
• Administrator

In Quickstart 1 this appears to be configured on the Nodes (Content) view under Fields for Bulk Operations: Content

I suspect that the module View Bulk Operations is being used for this.

Looks like we might need to add this module to allow for that functionality: https://www.drupal.org/project/views_bulk_edit
And that module relies on this one: https://www.drupal.org/project/views_bulk_operations

We might want to check with the group and make sure we're okay with adding two modules just for bulk updating taxonomy terms on nodes.
