Description

I'm really loving the search function and the option to filter on tags and other metadata. When you want to change some of this metadata however, you need to open every question involved and navigate to the settings tab.

I'm dreaming of something like underneath

where there are extra columns with the already specified metadata, changeable without opening the question, and (if possible) a checkbox in front of each question/exam to bulk-modify several objects at once (with a warning maybe for huge operations)

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by tracing the search function and its metadata and tag display, then determine how question and exam settings are stored; done means metadata and tags can be edited in search results and multiple selected objects can be modified with an appropriate warning.
