name = "Batch editing"
tips = [
"tix bulk edit --select 3,4,5 --priority high previews the change; nothing is written without --apply.",
"The patch whitelist is status, priority, assignee, labels, dates, estimate, cycles and milestones — titles and bodies are deliberately excluded.",
"To empty a field, name it in --clear; a blank flag value means 'unchanged', never 'set to empty'.",
"A partial batch exits non-zero and prints one outcome per selected issue, and it does not roll back the ones that succeeded.",
"Re-running a batch is idempotent: the second run reports no-op for everything it already applied.",
"tix bulk link --select 3,4 --target 9 --type blocks links a whole selection to one issue in a single call.",
