Description

Rationale / Begründung

During curation of an instance, sometimes an administrator needs to update information of several projects at the same time. It should be possible to do it through one of the available online interfaces: "Management", "Admin", or "Swagger API".

Affected

Admins

Minimal functionality

In the Management interface: allow exporting all projects in a single XML file.

In the Admin interface: allow other commands besides "Delete"/"löschen".

In the API: add a command like "POST /api/v1/projects/values/"

Nice-to-have functionality

Please make project sorting case-insensitive (the present order is very confusing)

Research direction

The issue names the Management interface, Admin interface, and API but no files, entry points, or tests. Start by locating the project export and update paths for each interface, then determine whether the three requested capabilities should be separate changes. Done should be defined by maintainers as concrete behavior and tests for the selected interfaces, including any case-insensitive sorting requirement.
