Description

Observed behavior

Bulk-editing multiple PDFs does not surface the option to set Categories or Levels

image_720

Expected behavior

If possible, we should allow as many edit options as possible when editing multiple nodes, especially when they're all the same type

User-facing consequences

Limitations to the edit experience for fields and values which should be applicable to all PDFs in this case

Additional information

I recall us discussing this when we made updates to the edit modal, on what should and shouldn't be bulk-editable, but I can't recall why we restricted this. If there are technical limitations, we should document them here.

Research direction

No source files or tests are identified. Start by locating the bulk-edit edit modal for multiple PDFs and reviewing how Categories and Levels are currently handled; clarify which fields should be available for uniform node types. Done means the appropriate options can be set for multiple PDFs, with coverage for the resulting values and any documented technical limitations.
