Correct - adjust the setting 'bulkedit.gui-item-limit' in dspace.cfg. > …We’d like to up it from 20 to maybe 500 as an experiment -- but potentially > much higher.

We set it to 20 initially so that there is a low risk of anything going wrong. If you are are happy with the tool, and the way it works, then it is fine to set it higher (but of course it carries the risk of potentially wrecking 500 records at once instead of 20!). We don't recommend setting it too high as the changes are all made in one hit, and this can cause timeouts or memory problems on the server. 500 should be fine. We've heard of problems when people start going over 1 or 2 thousand records at a time.
