Created a "duplicate" link with issue DIRSTUDIO-736 (Implement the "Execute Online" button of the BatchOperationWizard)

Indeed, there's already another issue opened about the grayed-out "Online Execution" button: DIRSTUDIO-736 (Implement the "Execute Online" button of the BatchOperationWizard).

It is scheduled for version 2.0 and we'll try to implement this for the next version.

In the meantime, you will need 2 steps.
First generate the LDIF and then import it.
This is temporary and the implementation will be added very soon.

the suggest feature doesn't work in my scenario for unknown reason.

Thx for pointing me to this multi-edit via batch operation.

It's still not working for me: Online Execution is greyed out - only ldif creation is selectable (OpenDJ 2.4.3)
(Yes I've write permissions with the account connected..)

In the batch dialog I've to select the action "add" or "replace" for an attribute.
Should a mixed edit of an attribute which is already existent in some of the entries work with batch operation whren I select replace - or is this a fire and forget ldif action?

Hint for others: Multiple entry selection has to be done in the left pane (e.g.) search results
Wish: Entries should be selectable also in the right pane, because there - you can sort and select by additional attributes other than the "dn"

My comments reflect v1.5.3

This feature already exists.
Select the entries you want to modify and then choose "New > New Batch Operation" in the context menu and follow the Batch Operation wizard.

Moved the issue from the ApacheDS project (the directory server) to the Apache Directory Studio project (the Eclipse-based directory tooling platform).
