Description
We'd like to be able to bulk-update contact information for all the datasets in a given dataverse. At the moment, updating the contacts in a dataverse does not affect the contacts in any of the datasets contained within the dataverse (and combing through several dozen datasets to change all the contacts one by one is tedious).
I understand that such changes can only be done using APIs. It would be handy to be able to make these changes in the UI.

Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #7614 and the existing UI and API paths for editing Dataverse and dataset contact metadata. Determine how a bulk-update workflow should select datasets, handle permissions, and report results. Done means contacts can be updated for all datasets in a Dataverse through the UI, with appropriate tests.
