We are running our project management in Twiki. We have topics with TwikiForms for each task to do. These forms save information about the tasks (e.g. priority, late-finish-date, estimated effort).

It would be a big time saver if one could edit selected fields of a number of selected forms/topics in one step (in one single formular - much link edit table).

E.g:

Has anything link this be done before (I havn't found an appropriate Plugin).

Discussion and Answer

I have not seen that, but I see how useful it could be. In the past I have done am html form per table row, where the form action updates the record and returns back to the originating page.

This functionality requires a new plugin.

If you know RegularExpressions and don't mind a geeky solution you could use the GenericReplacerPlugin to change multiple TWiki records in one swoop.
