Adding a duplicate of comment: https://github.com/FlowFuse/flowfuse/issues/6006#issuecomment-3422983450 here sine it will be lost when its PR is merged.

Apologies for being Late to the party, but we started adding batch management to devices for scaling up.

I am wondering why we are not building on that?

For example, an obvious QoL improvement would be to permit bulk ops for adding to / removing from group in the Actions drop down like we do for assignment?

The iteration we have taken with #6124 seems like more work with less benefit?

This was driven by specific customer feedback around how awkward it is to manage device membership for individual devices. And that the expectation was to be able to manage properties of a device from the device's own page.

The bulk use case is also valid, just different.

@cstns please raise an issue for Steve's suggestion and size appropriately.
