Summary: Multiple entry edit

Initial Comment:
I suggest to allow  multiple entries to be edited simultaneously much like e.g. iTunes allows. Then when pressing multiple edit any fields left empty are unchanged, and only common fields are displayed to start with.

I have found that it is useful to repeatedly replace e.g. author names with middle names, and such like. Since one can search for a group of related publications, then selecting this group and multiple-edit them would give a highly efficient work flow.
