Batch Schedule/Reschedule/Organize list

Feature Request
For some people, it would be useful to have a batch organization feature. This could be applied to any list of entries for various usecases. E.g. 1 - Some people have a long overdue list that never gets handled properly. A feature that lets them quickly reschedule those items would be helpful E.g. 2 - Some people want to quickly schedule overdue for today as it goes well with their working style E.g. 3 - Some people may want to quickly move items from one list/tag to another, or to a specific date. Multiselect on desktop would be nice as well

    This is essential for quick processing. For instance, it would very practical to multiselect a bunch of entry and apply at once a list, tags, migrate, etc

    This would be VERY helpful! Usually I have a bunch of tasks every day or every week that needs to be rescheduled and it takes forever having to reschedule them one by one.

    Along the same line, if you have a lot of sub tasks it would be nice to “Copy” them to a new parent task or list.

    Hamish: Yes, that would certainly help, thank you.

    Hamish: Hi Hamish, I realise that overdue is the classic way of Bullet journaling but in terms of the way I work, it feels like it’s creating another task. Another possibility is that there could be a ‘bulk migrate’ option so I don’t have to go through so many tasks one at a time? I’m always oversubscribed with tasks on any one day due to the nature and changeability of my work. Therefore I think it would be better for me to have the days list come up straight away and then migrate things as and when. Hope that helps?

    The purpose of the 'Overdue' tab is so that you can deal with tasks from previous days. Is there a reason you prefer for tasks to auto migrate as opposed to using the overdue tab?

    Double Leontyne: Interesting insight, thank you. Actually I know that the overdue tab is an issue for some other people, for a different reason. For some people, the overdue tab builds up and never gets handled. One way I had thought of fixing this is making an easy 'reschedule' feature for overdue entries - and this looks like it would fit well with your suggestion of bulk migration. So if there was an action on the 'overdue' tab that allowed you to bulk reschedule all your overdue entries in an easy manner, would this fix your issue?

    "I have over 100 tasks that are "overdue" , is there a way to mass-complete these tasks? On the desktop I have to close them one by one, forced to click on which day it was completely . Is there a less redundant way to do it? if not, this can be a good update, thank you"

    **Multiple Selection and alteration of Tasks** Bullet is amazing already. If I were to offer a suggestion for further greatness it would be very handy if we could select multiple tasks, notes etc and bulk change aspects of them. Examples would be selecting 7 tasks I was supposed to do today and bulk migrating them to next weekend rater than having to migrate each task individually. Same logic could be applied for moving multiple items to a new list etc. When I first used Bullet I found it very intuitive, like everything had already been thought and one if the very few things that surprised me was a multi-select+change feature that allowed me to perform the same action on multiple items at once.

    I completely agree with copper supernova here - it would be amazing to bulk update attributes, like assigning which lists they are associated with.

    It would also be really nice to be able to quickly select a few items and send them to the top or bottom of the entire list with either a keyboard shortcut or a quick right click command
