In KeePass 2.18 you can select multiple entries, but when you try to edit them, all but one are deselected.
Here is how a "multi-edit" could work:
If multiple entries are selected for edit, the usual field value is displayed if all selected entries have that value in the field being displayed.
If there are different values, either "<several values>" or a list of values is displayed (For real-life examples, see meta-data edit in foobar2000, or meta-data edit in Adobe Lightroom).
So if I change a value, all selected entries will update the correspondig fierld to that value on save. Values not touched will keep their individual values on save.
Why I wish for it: After having imported about 250 passwords from the browser, none of the new entries has a title. The first column (title) is blank, and it looks strange to have to double-click empty space to open the corresponding entry.

When implementing multi-edit, hava a look at foobar2000: I simply feel it was done right there, and I wonder how anybody could do it wrong.

    I've implemented this now. The entry editing dialog can now edit all currently selected entries at once.

    Here's the latest development snapshot for testing:

    Thanks and best regards,
