Bulk-edit contact informaton of objects
NetBox version
v4.2.5
Feature type
New functionality
Proposed functionality
Bulk-edit contact information of any number of objects selected in the WebUI.
Use case
Assigning a contact to lots of objects (i.e. devices) at once, saving lots of time.
Today, contacts must be assigned one by one, or with a script, which is possible but tedious for such a simple task.

I think this makes sense, but we need to do some work around supporting bulk operations generally first. I'll move this to the backlog for now.
Idk if it answers your needs but tenancy/contact-assignments/ can bulk-import + bulk-edit the relationship between contacts and the objects.
Hi,
Adding one more detail to this thread:
One problem with the “Contact Assignment Bulk Import” is that one of the required fields is the contact’s name.
But there can be more than one “John Smith” in the contacts, and that makes the import fail, saying the name isn’t unique.
“Record 1 contact: ‘John Smith’ is not a unique value for this field; multiple objects were found”
It would need to be changed to the contact ID or some other alternative.
