I have a questions about bulk editing via UI. When I select a container and make some edits to it (add an owner, or soft-delete a container, or anything) - it does not apply those changes to the child intities, like the tables withing the container. Is there a way to apply the changes to all child entities inside a parent entity as well? For cases where there are quite a lot of child entities in one parent, and I want to make the same edit to all of them, and selecting only their parent container would be much simple than selecting all the children.We have some containers that include hundreds of tables, and selecting each of them is not super conveniet:)

Hi @elegant-salesmen-99143, are you interested in something like https://feature-requests.datahubproject.io/p/bulk-domain-edits-via-the-ui-for-glossary-terms?
This is similar to the recursive change issue that we discussed previously with editing all of the children of an entity.
I’m unsure where it sits on our roadmap though. CC: @big-carpet-38439

@astonishing-answer-96712 well the request above seems pretty different from my request, but I think I'm interested in something like this too. Or are you suggesting I create my own request for editin children entities?

@elegant-salesmen-99143 if you want to submit a feature request that would really help us out- i’m double checking with the team to make sure this isn’t something already possible thru the UI
The container page has an entities page that allows for bulk edit, just wanted to double check you’ve seen that!

@astonishing-answer-96712 Oh yeah right, I did know about that, but somehow forgot in this case. It helps in some cases, but in cases when we have hundreds of child entities in a container - we still have to turn pages and select entities on each page I also already submitted a request (and made a stupid typo in its title that I can't edt🤦‍♀️)
