My beef with Attributes is not being able to do a batch update on several hundred records at a time. If I want to change Costume to Clothing, I have to do so with each record. How lovely it would be to place them all in an Object Package and change them in one go. Of course, this would only work with the Objects module. I would like to see the other modules have the capability to group records into packages for similar batch updating.

How wonderful it would be in the next version of TMS to "copy all attributes" from one record and "paste" them into another record. Anyone else struggling with this time-waster?
